Omelette du fromage

You may not have heard but you can now catch a direct flight from Salt Lake City to the City of Lights, gay Paris. Oo la la. Of course that's all well and good for couples looking for a romantic getaway, but as Salt Lake Tribune columnist Paul Rolly points out, what happens to travellers who want to bring some French wine back with them to the capitol of the Mormon Empire.

The direct Paris flights mean those jetting in from the City of Lights will go through customs at Salt Lake City International Airport. So visitors or Utah residents returning from a European jaunt better not plan on bringing with them some of that famous French wine, or customs will have to confiscate it since agents go by the laws of the states where they work.
Utah's liquor laws do make a small exception for people going through customs. They may bring in two liters of alcohol. Any more than that, though, and it's sayonara $200 bottle of vintage vino.

Those are the breaks I guess. C'est la vie.
