"It varies, but the most frequently cited set of rules is as follows: anything less than 24 per cent ABV is considered 'low alcohol' and is not generally restricted (although it's worth double checking this is the case with your airline before you pack). 'Strong alcohol' is considered 24-70 per cent ABV and is limited to 5 litres per passenger, in unopened retail packaging. Alcohol that is more than 70 per cent ABV is prohibited."
"You are allowed to carry carbonated drinks in checked-in luggage, but they pose a risk of exploding due to pressure changes in the cargo hold. While cargo holds in most commercial aircraft are pressurised, consider confirming with your airline before packing things up. Even so, spirits always run the risk of spilling or exploding, which is why it's inadvisable to carry your seltzers and Champagne on a flight."
Rules vary by alcohol strength and airline. Anything under 24 percent ABV is generally considered low alcohol and is not usually restricted, though checking with the airline is advised. Strong alcohol between 24 and 70 percent ABV is limited to five litres per passenger and must remain in unopened retail packaging. Alcohol above 70 percent ABV is prohibited. No regulations govern the condition of packaging, so travellers must secure bottles themselves. Carbonated drinks can explode due to pressure changes in the cargo hold, so packing in airtight bags and cushioning between clothing is recommended. Duty-free purchases can bypass cabin liquid limits.
