bringing alcohol back to canada

When out of Canada for more than a week you are allowed to bring back one bottle of wine/liquor or 1 case of beer. We have been vacationing for several weeks and have a half case of beer and a few part bottles of wine/spirits. Anyone know the rules regarding returning with part bottles. Am I still allowed to buy one bottle each for the wife and I? Or do they require me to to drink/dispose of the part bottles?

    I cross a lot. If your taking more then a case or bottle per person just tell them. I was never asked to pull over and pay duty. I drink Steam Whistle and is only available in CA. I bring 3 or 4 cases back at a time. If you do its like .40 a case. These days they are looking for security problems.

    Two 750 ml bottles of wine or approximately 24 cans or bottles (355 ml each) of beer or ale per legal age person after a 48 hour or more stay. Half empty bottles I believe can be allowed but it will be calculated as part of the limit in other words one bottle of wine 750ml plus 375ml of opened bottle therefore you cannot bring another bottle as you will be over your limit of 750 x2.
