Yes. You can still buy liquids, aerosols and gels (including duty free) at New Zealand airports, once you have passed through the security screening point. There are no restrictions on buying or collecting duty free goods on arrival in New Zealand. 

If you are travelling directly to another country, you can still take duty free liquids, aerosols and gels on the aircraft with you. 

If you are taking more than one flight before you reach your destination, you may be screened when you change flights in another country. If you have liquids, aerosols and gels greater than 100ml or not in the 1 litre plastic bag (including duty free purchases), you may lose them at the screening point in that country.

We recommend that you only purchase duty free just prior to or at the end of the last flight of your journey, or that you collect it on your return to New Zealand.

No. If you are flying to the United States you will be subject to the same liquids, aerosols and gels security measures that apply when arriving in, or transiting through, any other country with these measures in place.  For more information see www.tsa.gov/311/

If you purchase your duty free at a down-town retailer, you need to ask the retailer to deliver it to the security area of the airport (ie past the security screening point).  It is important to remember that these items will be treated the same as all other duty free items purchased at the airport.  They will be subject to the same security measures if you change flights in another country.

No. There is no change to the Customs limits on how much alcohol or other items you can bring into New Zealand.

A stop-over passenger is a passenger who has a number of destinations scheduled as part of their trip, for example two nights are spent in one country and four in another.

If you are a stop-over passenger, you can pack duty free in your hold luggage before leaving for the next sector of your journey.

A bottle of wine from home will be greater than 100ml, so you cannot take it through the screening point.  You need to pack such items in your checked-in baggage.  You should talk to your airline about its requirements for checked-in baggage.
