    Currently on a euro tour. I will want to buy some spirits before i come home. Where would be cheapeast (France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Czech republic) Here in Italy 1l Jameson is 16e and it was about the same in France. But i reckon the Czech republic could be a lot cheaper?

    Maybe but does the extra few € you might save justify the hassle of having to lug several liters of spirits around Europe?

    Why bother with the hassle of that for the sake of a tenner maybe? Even trying to mind them from breakages also.

    Czach Republic might be around €13 or €14 for Jameson, other native brands will likely be alot cheaper.

    There's a bigger mark up in cigarettes, bring 2,000 back, will cost you approx 250euro.
    Sell them for 40euro per 200 box, total made 400euro, profit of 150euro.

    Enough to buy a load of Jamesons here, and without the risk of bottle smashing ;)

    They're suggesting that you buy in the last country you visit and end up spending some extra € to save you the hassle of buying early in your trip and then travelling around Europe carrying all those bottles.
