Whole Bottle of Cognac Drunk Before Flying

A Chinese woman reportedly downed a full bottle of XO cognac at a Beijing airport security control after being told that she could not take it on board.  Staff told her she was not allowed to carry the bottle in her hand luggage because it exceeded the 100ml limit and so, not wanting to waste the purchase, she apparently drank the entire contents.  This did not seem to help her cause any as she was then deemed too drunk to board the flight.  But looking on the plus side, at least she was probably too inebriated to taste most of it!

One of the few XOs we stock is certainly too good to be treated in this way – the Fontpinot is to be savoured and enjoyed.  View our whole range of luxury cognacs here.
