I found the quality to be somewhat on the lower end of the spectrum, especially from Spanish and Italian regions. Still, I found a half-way decent French / Chateauneuf du Pape.

The authorities like to control distribution of alcohol and in Sweden it is done through this organization that is generally referred to as "the system." They are the ONLY retail store in Sweden that is allowed to sell alcoholic beverages that have more than 3.5% alcohol by volume. If you're looking for better beer (take away) and spirits (like vodka, rum, gin, and such), this is it. Prices are clearly marked and aren't excessive. An interesting effect to this is that you might find some bargains on name brand spirits compared to the more generic brands. There are no specials and all are sold at room temperature, i.e., beer is not refrigerated. Be prepared to show some sort of identification to purchase. Note that Systembolaget's stores close by 8 pm on weekdays and 3 pm on Saturdays. They are not open on Sunday, or certain holidays. So plan your drunken debauchery ahead of time, or just go hit up a pub. [Review 18713 overall - 47 in Sweden - 2236 of 2022.]

Especially when you figure what SEK is in USD.However you won't be drinking as much because if the news is bad, you won't understand it. As you can tell from "box wine", I am not a wine connoisseur. But there are many wines and hard liquor in all price levels. I ended up purchasing what someone else did that also had more empty spaces on the shelf. The store is bright. Checkout is friendly and competent. When we are in Sodermalm, this is where I come.
