Wine across the border?


As a wine maker I'm wondering where the Mexican authorities stand on visitors carrying wine across the border for their own use. I was thinking of bringing down five or ten gallons.

But has anyone ever been checked?


Just spread it around and you should be fine.

We bring a couple of cases per vehicle and no one has cared.:cool:

It is not illegal to bring anything into Mexico as long as the weight of your vehicle dosnt cause you to go to secondary inspection! And even then it shouldnt be a problem. I ussually take 10+ cases of home brew across and $20 Bucks is the biggest fine I have ever paid!



Work is just something I do to keep me buzy between baja trips!

Vehicle weight has nothing to do with getting a red light. It is purely random unless guards stationed at the gates notice something. They then will motion you over even if you get a green light.

The best way to beat it is to be right on the tail of the vehicle in front of you. If he gets a green the system wont reset until both of you have passed. If he gets a red, hit your brakes.
