Thanks mate.
Do you know if a half empty bottle counts as a full bottle for allowances? Ie would a mostly empty 750 count as a whole 750?
You cannot legally carry an opened bottle of alcohol, it is against the dangerous goods rules.
If you got to customs I don't know how they'd treat it, I assume they'd count the full capacity as they have no way to measure it (same as taking 100ml in a 700ml bottle through international security, it still gets confiscated as it's the total capacity that counts).
Surely it's not worth it for a partial bottle - if it's worth that much to you bring it full and sealed. If you get caught breaking the DG rules you'll be in much more trouble than getting a bill at customs.
