Hm, grape juice isnt exactly the best specification, is it? Malt juice would be more correct. ;-)
I dont know anything about British law, but here in Sweden it is regarded as a premeditated
attempt to smuggle, if you lie about the content. And if any bottle is intercepted by the
customs under such conditions, it can and will be destroyed.
La Maison du Whisky kept sending me lava lamps until I told them to label the content
"collectors malt".
Cheers,
JESPER
PS It isnt required to declare the content of a parcel, if you send a bottle of whisky within
the EU, at least when sending it from Sweden. But this is a legal minefield that I wont go any
further into...
I've been sent quite a number of whisky bottles from the US over the years, and the custom
declaration form has claimed the package contains things like 'olive oil', 'grape juice',
'cologne', etc. But the latest one which arrived today is the first one which really does not
make any false claims whatsoever. The form claims the package contains an 'Art Work'!
Cheers, Lex
