| Thanks for the link- very helpful (it must be the only part of zollinfo I'd not read!)
Basically it seems that I'd have to declare the wine at entrance to Switzerland (Bardonnex) and pay the deposit. And then claim it back when I exit at Schaffhausen a few hours later.
I don't really need to enter Switzerland to drop my friend off at the airport - I could easily do this via the French sector. It is simply that the quickest route from Geneva to Stuttgart is through Switzerland- taking a detour via Besancon / Freiburg is a real pain in the backside.
If anyone has any experience of transit receipts I'd be grateful for any tips.

Correct me if I am wrong, but not all the airlines have check-in desks in the French sector. Also, certain airlines (I think AirFrance is one example??) only use this check in desk for flights for French destinations, treating this as a domestic airport. Some airlines (Easyjet for example) don't even have a check-in desk in the French sector meaning you'll have to cross into Switzerland to check-in.
It is wise to check whether your friend's flight is with an airline with a check-in desk on the French side. Getting to it not hard. Just drive around Geneva if you are coming from the south and head towards Ferney-Voltaire. Then head towards Geneva from there and there is a slip road to your right just before the border crossing.
As suggested, one of the bus services on the French side of the border may work for you!
