Calais Booze Run
Tue Jul 12, 2016 3:11 pm
Looking to do a booze run to Calais and probably go to Lille for the day and stay over a night
I know a few shops do spent over so much and you get crossing free
What's the best shops and places to go for the booze and what's the best deals for crossing etc ?
If anyone got any information would be greatful
Cheers

All that way for the demon drink - you should go tea total, it would be much better for you!

Not worth it, when I checked the prices I can get it cheaper wholesale.

We do this every year and you would be surprised how much of a saving it is. OK - not when you put fuel crossing into the mix but do it sensibly, make a weekend in France and its perfect.
Calais Wine Warehouse is fantastic, and another called Pidou. Both are next to each other about 10 mins from Calais port. You can pre order so much and they will cover crossing fee too, but the fun is more to pick them out at a fraction of UK costs.

With the £ the way it is, it would be pointless!

that's why I suggested badging it as a weekend away - to combine the drinks run
