Don't you have to pay duty on imported wines?

Yes you do. Excise on wine is nearly €3 per bottle last time I looked.

It's up to the seller to pay the duty and vat.
The customer can still buy it.

17. Do I have to pay duties for excise products (e.g. wine, spirits and tobacco products) purchased over the internet?
Excise products sold via the Internet and supplied from one Member State to a customer in another Member State are subject to excise duties in the Member State where the purchaser receives his goods. So, before the excise product can be legally delivered to the purchaser, the excise duties and taxes will have to be paid. Note that in the case of distance selling, the obligation to pay excise duties in the Member State of the purchaser rests upon the vendor. Note that VAT is also due in the Member State of destination in the case of distance selling of excise products.

The customer can buy the wine and it is the seller's responsibility to comply in the manner outlined, but if he does not, the goods are liable to seizure and it is the customer who will ultimately suffer.

Does not compare to the Government's illegal practice of charging VRT on new vehicles
