Booze cruise

The boot of a car filled with bottles of cider and brandy purchased from Englesqueville-la-Percée in Normandy

In British slang, a booze cruise is a brief trip from Britain to France or Belgium with the intent of taking advantage of lower prices, and buying personal supplies of (especially) alcohol or tobacco in bulk quantities.[1] This is a legally allowed process not to be confused with smuggling.
