Taking alcohol to Sweden

Hi,

I'm travelling to Sweden by flight and I wanted to take two bottle of alcohol with me (1+1 litre). Any idea whether this is allowed or will I run into trouble with customs in Finland/Sweden?

Thanks,
TM

As long as you put it to checked package (due to liquid safety rules) you will be fine. For own use it's ok to transport alcohol between EU countries and not declaring it. That's what so many Finns do when they come from Estonia by boat...

Thank you. I'll definitely put them in the check in baggage. These bottles have already found their way from Estonia to Finland, and now, they need to go to Sweden for Christmas.
