Even en paar ‘duty free’ flesjes meenemen in de ‘wineshop’ van de luchthaven. En daar telde een oosterling met het grootste gemak 50.000 euro voor neer op Charles de Gaulle in Parijs. De aankoop bestond uit een Romanée Conti 1995, een Château Margaux 2003, twee flessen Château Lafite Rothschild 1982 en twee flessen Château Pétrus 1980. BBC News liet er verder over weten:

“Travellers buy each year in the shops of the two Parisian airports more than a million bottles of wine and nearly 400,000 bottles of champagne", Paris airport operator ADP said in a statement.
The previous record sale was made last year in April when a woman traveller, bound for Abidjan in Ivory Coast, spent nearly 30,000 euros on three bottles of wine, ADP told the BBC.
The last record purchase before that had been in 2007 by a person "from Asia" who spent 23,000 euros.
Such purchases can be the result of impulse buying, or in some cases the result of a customer asking the airport shop to find a bottle of a particular year for a special occasion, ADP says”.
