Years ago, this used to be quite a big event in the UK with people racing to be the first back into London with some.
In fact, in 1983 myself and two friends from university actually entered the race, collecting two cases at midnight on the Thursday night and then driving back to the UK with them. We drove in a blue MG which was rather nice.
We didn't win though - someone flew back and parachuted into London with a bottle or two.
Wife and I drank a bottle tonight - I was incredibly fruity, it has to be said.
