Bringing Alcohol

Hello everyone. I am going on my first trip to Aruba in June! I am taking my mom and we are very excited. This site has been so helpful in planning my trip. I do have question about bringing Alcohol in checked baggage. I know this has been posted on here many times...but my question is it states that you can bring...1 litre of distilled beverages or 2.25 litres of wine or 3 litres beer.
We will be bringing wine. Bottles are usually 750 ML...so does that mean I can bring more than one bottle or just one larger bottle of wine.

Sorry if this is dumb question, but I just want to make sure I dot all my i's and cross my T's...especially when it comes to some tasty beverages.....the more the better!
THANKS!

2.25 Liters (L) = 2250 Milliliters (ml)

3 bottles (750 ml each) of wine duty free (750 ml X 3= 2250 ml)

That limit is per person. Stock up, enjoy, and save a bundle.

while in aruba, if you have the opportunity, visit lings grocery store.
lings has a terrific assortment of wines from all over the world.
we have purchased some chilean wines there are they were delicious.
enjoy.

The ( wines (Chilean wines great) on the island are avail in grocery stores, they are good and cheap. Why bring them with you...50 lbs per piece of luggage gets heavy fast.
