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*.
