How much does a bottle of wine weigh?

[Napoleon]

I'm trying to figure out how much wine can be brought back in each bag.

Does anyone know how much a typical bottle of wine weighs? I don't have a scale.

Thanks.

PS- I'm not interested in limits relating to duties, just weight.

They use the terms "case" & "1/2 case". I know that a "case" of beer is 24 btls/cans and in the States a "case" of wine is usually 12 btls, however I have heard "case" used for a box of 6 bottles here.

But I think that from the math presented:

12 btls = 40 lbs

6 btls = 20 lbs

This feels about right. I've got a box of 6 btls that feels about 20 lbs and then I have 4 more bottles that actually feel close. Two of the four felt exceptionally heavy. And that article said that occasionally the glass of a bottle could weigh up to 3 lbs, but that's highly irregular.

Thanks
