Just wondering what the availability and selection of good quality wine in Dubai is? Or is it more than worth while to stock up and ship over my collection or does this cause problems with duty etc

I wonder too... the availability is quite low.

If anyone is ever interested in starting a wine importation business with me (Scarlet and I have the links back in Australia) let me know, this places desperately needs some good vino at good prices.

Of course, it would have to be above board and legit.

If caught drinking wine here they will uncork the bottle and jam it up your arse and turn you upside down will shotting the cork multiple times at your balls with a slingshot.

Its basic UAE law.

Really, and yet basic UAE law doesn't extend to hotels nor the Aviation Club?

This is Dubai, not Sharjah Liban.

Hotel and premises owners that allow themselves to be shagged when the sheep are asleep can flout these rules.

Thats why the places you mentionned have them...

The simple answer is to get yourself down to the hole in the wall in Ajman. The selection there is pretty reasonable and you don't need a licence, just don't have an accident as you drive back through Sharjah

At arrivals I think your allowance is 6 bottles, not sure how relevant that is to shipping in a wine collection. Isn't travel bad for wine anyway?

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Barracuda in Umm Al Quwain seems to have a reasonable wine selection these days.

Presumably A & E and MMI are the only ones allowed to import alcohol. You'd need to find out what the story is there before doing anything else. But yes, there's bound to be a siginificant increase in demand for good wines in the next few years.

No I meant women only can be nude in these beaches. The men need to be in their trunks. Speedos should be banned and their sale a criminal offense punishable by death through anal electrocution.

Ajman? NO NO NO NO NO!

For wine you need to head to the Baraccuda in Um Al Quain, they have just expanded it all and have a massive winery with bottles imported from all over the world. French, Californian, Chilean, Whites, Red, Roses and Champers. You can just stock up and it's dirt cheap.
