Taking wine into Vancouver

[jer_l]

We're traveling from Washington to Vancouver on Amtrak for a HAL cruise in June. I'll be taking wine on the ship and want to find out about any restrictions on bringing wine from the US into Canada.

You can bring in 1.14 litres of wine per adult for personal consumption.

 

I think 1.14 litres = 4 1/2 cups = 2 pints?

You are allowed to bring 1.5 litres of wine, which is basically two normal bottles or one magnum, per person. And you must be over the legal age of 19 for British Columbia.

 

See http://cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/rc4161-eng.html#P007 for legal restritions on alcohol if you want to be more specific about the limitations.

Thanks for the info.
