Brits have dashed across the Channel to stock up on cut-price French alcohol in what is being dubbed the last ‘booze cruise’ before a potential no-deal exit from the European Union.
Single market rules currently allow Britons to bring home an unlimited amount of most goods for their own use from European destinations.
However, if the UK leaves the EU on Friday without a deal, it could see these allowances be replaced with existing rules for duty free from non-European countries.
This would permit only six bottles of wine, 16 litres of beer and one litre of spirits to be brought into the UK.
