They're strict about it. They strongly dislike it, just as other guests do, which they're not wrong about.

Would not risk it.  They scanned our bag and gave us a hard time about a bottle of grape juice... Not worth the risk IMO.

They tag baggage with red sticker indicating if it needs inspection before the baggage carousel, 8f yes they will take it thru a x ray machine and if something shows up they will inspect.

You can always remove the red sticker but it takes some effort.

I saw them find some and they just confiscated it.

Divide them between suitcases for best chance.







Always praying for delayed baggage.

Might work in a carry-on bag, but our checked luggage was scanned pretty thoroughly.
Ask the hotel how much kosher wine would cost?
