You check your bags in and then shop at Duty free after passport check etc... there is a duty free shop behind the doors. Do not buy it before going through security at the beginning as it will be taken from you... only allowed 100 mls of liquid?? Whatever liquid you buy behind the doors is OK as they know where it has come from.... sorry if i don't make sense... hard to explain. There will be no need to pack it in your checked luggage, you just take it on as hand luggage.
Just remember whatever you take over you cannot bring back so drink it all!!!! or give it away. I gave away a 1 litre bottle of midori to a hotel staff member when I left, had about 2 inches out of the bottle. Just re read my message and it doesn't make alot of sense does it?? Hope I've helped in some small way.
