It varies from place to place. I've seen people have their duty free bags
confiscated at Frankfurt for purely internal European flights. It seems that
the rules change weekly. Like Harald says, last hop is the only sure thing. No
transitive trust in airport security these days.

I've seen people get through security with duty free bottles.
But that requires that the bottles are sealed in a clear plastic bag,
and that you can plainly see the receipt from the duty free store you
bought them at through the plastic (the receipt has to be INSIDE the bag).
Last hop does it. Or, in the ultimate acknowledgement of the silliniess
of "duty free alcohol", your destination may do like Norway does, and
let you buy your "duty free export" *after landing*.

It is reported by The Economist dated March 10 that if you buy duty
free liquids outside Europe, carry them on the plane with you, and
have to go through airport security while changing planes in Europe,
your liquids will be confiscated, assuming they exceed 100 ccs.
Europe in this case means the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.
If you are flying from anywhere else to Prague and changing planes in
Europe, this will certainly apply at major airports such as London
Heathrow, Paris CDG, etc., and wherever international transit
passengers must go through security checkpoints.
To avoid losing your alcohol or perfume, they need to be in your
checked baggage.
