I'm hoping that someone can help with this.
I will be getting married next year and we're currently in discussions with a number of venues.
One of them has said they 'legally' can't open wine bought in France or elsewhere in the EU as there has been no duty paid on it in Ireland.
This is confusing me for a couple of reasons
So, I'm hoping someone can help me by letting me know whether this is one venue making up a rule to help defend their profits, or whether this is actually not possible.
Many thanks in advance.

This is confusing me for a couple of reasons
- Nobody else has mentioned this;
- My sister did similar at her wedding (although this was in 2002);
- There are plenty of articles online that reference doing this
