What's the usual charge per bottle. Back in 95 I was heading back to New Brunswick from Maine and declared a dozen bottles. This was an afternoon trip, not the 48 hours. I think I was charged a buck a bottle. Of course, it was more than worth it.

Just this past December, I went to and from Buffalo with my girlfriend who was attending school there. I hit Premiere for a mixed case, declared nothing, and made it through just fine.

The only down side to that plan is th eamount of time you'll spend in Priemere Gourmet and not actually drinking the beers. I could spend a good part of a day in that place.

Hint, hint LCBO. We have a plethora of great beers just below the boarder, yet we continually buy from overseas and don't even cut our local breweries a break to stock the shelves.

After an event in Barffalo, myself and two friends went to PG and spent an hour talking and shopping. We ended up bring back about 30 bottles each. As far as the boarder, well lets just say three hungover guys in a car don't really raise any eyebrows.

Have fun.
