Thread: Wine in Bali - Where and How Much

Can you give the Denpasar address. I noticed recently that the Wine of the Gods place on the By-pass road (with the big bottle on the road side) now seems closed up.

Will get the information and get back to everyone

Oh, yes please. Haven't found a decent white local one. The red is good, as long as you have time to let it breath first. One another topic of wine, I have the feeling that some of the restaurants here make their own wine. Had a glass of red one for 36,000 - very cheap, considering a bottle is 120,000 - and it wasn't a bad one. Or.. I haven't found the right wine shop

I cut and pasted this, so apologies for the format, but at least the info is there for all. Enjoy!!

So only try this if you have the balls.
Last night my wife and I bought in 8 bottles of Red, 1 bottle of Grange, 2 1 liter bottles of Jack, a small bottle of Johnny - black label (for Johhny Cool) 1 bottle of Gin 1 bottle Jager and 1 bottle of vodka.
In previous missions we were able to bring in as much as possible (several dozen bottles of red at any given time)as the guys on the X machine outside would chalk a red cross on your luggage which i would wipe off with a damp cloth before going through inspection.
Now you have to "negotiate" your way if you get busted. My advice - keep a smile on your face - keep moving and tell the inspectors to have a nice day! No pay off required.
The question is, has anyone got any clues on how to avoid the 150 k corkage charge (on my 3rd smuggled bottle of shiraz)as I sit here in the Bluefin Jap restaurant in downtown Kuta without upsetting Putu the wonderful manager who serves the best Jap fine food!

Your wife do a bit of weight lifting on the sly?

I smuggled in - and yes, the term is "smuggled", 4 litres of Bombay Sapphire the other day, at my local airport I have a good relationship with the fine people of Bea cukai, and I make a point of heading to one I know (assuming on duty) and telling them that I am bringing in a bit more for my own consumption. I don't get an issue if I do this,

I'm puzzled though "several dozen" bottles of red? Really? and pray tell just how did you manage that? Despite the potential issues with duty, how did you physically move the stuff? I have long understand that Bali expats are in every way bigger and better than their mainland counterparts - but several dozen bottles of wine at one hit, and the planning to bring your own damp cloth in to wipe the chalk off - us mainland boys can't get close to that.

I carry a stick of white chalk and draw over the red cross, for some reason they stop me every time.............

That's not bad, I do miss a family sized glass of shiraz now and again. Actually to be fair I have had a few bottles of hatton red and they haven't been too bad, certainly no worse than your average french wine. From your experience is there anything on that list around about 13.5% that can put hair on your chest? I wonder how they feel about carriage to Jawa? I bet there will be some reason why they can't.

I had considered bringing a tanker through in my hand carry, and use a bath towel to wipe the red chalk mark off, but figure the noise of the engine might give the game away.......

Problem where I am is to get people not to put sirop marjan in the red wine.

And what happens when they don't play ball and pour it down the pisser while you watch?

Don't answer, I know, you'll be bleating like Schappelle that you have been hard done by.

What happens when you bribe Aussie customs? They get quite anal over a packet of dried noodles....

Arif, stop bleating, you'll get yourself banned.........

You know full well that you aren't allowed to drink in anycase.
