Anywhere to buy bottles of wine in Ft. Lauderdale airport?

[kaytieedid]

We are flying into FLL the morning of the cruise and taking a shuttle to the port in Miami. I didn't want to pack wine in my checked luggage for the flight if I didn't have to. Is there anywhere to buy bottles in the FLL airport after you get off the plane?

I've never seen any place like that. The FLL airport is a bit scattered anyway, so there's not really any central shopping area I've noticed, but that may have been because I was more concerned with getting to the car rental place and on my way. Hopefully somebody else will know.

I really think there is only duty free at FLL.
But we are flying out early tomorrow morning for NYC, I will have extra time, I will take a look around and see if theres anything for you.

I don't know anything about shopping at FLL but duty free only works when you are departing AND flying internationally. Arriving wouldn't be able to buy duty free.

The only airport I have seen wine for sale (non-duty free) is Providence in the shop that sells all of the RI-related food and drink. I've purchased Sakonnet wine for easy carry-on (except the bottles are heavy) as the shops are after security...the "eye of the storm" is yummy

Is there a store at your home airport, past security, that might carry wine? That way you can just carry it on. I've seen wine-selling, non-duty free stores in some major airports during my travels. I seem to recall MSP being that way, just naming one I've seen. I could be disremembering though.

Thank you everyone!! I'm flying out of PHL and never noticed if there was anything. I'll work on that today!!

Took a look around Ft. Lauderdale while we were there, there doesn't seem to be anyplace to purchase a bottle wine, except duty free, which is not available for you.
If you want to bring a bottle, I would suggest purchasing a wine skin, we purchased these while we were in Napa for the flight home, we had no issues.

Thank you so much for checking!!
