Alcohol Sweden
The country has customs rules that allow the import of alcohol more than a liter for spirits. You can grab two liters of wine or beer, but it is much more pleasant to taste Swedish alcohol, which is sold in specialized stores and served in all establishments. The prices for alcohol in the country will not seem low, but the quality of the products offered for this money can be obtained the most excellent. A bottle of vodka in a local supermarket will cost no less than 25 euros, and wine - about 5-8 euros. This is due to the high excise taxes on alcohol, which grow in proportion to the strength of the drink.
National drink of Sweden
The main alcoholic brand of the northern state is the famous Absolut vodka, the production of which was started back in 1879. This national drink of Sweden was born under the influence of another, called "Absolut Renat Brenvin", which means - brewed wine of absolute purity. It was decided to emphasize the Swedish roots of the new drink, which was the success of the bottle design developers. Its shape was spied on in a regular pharmacy and is very similar to a simple medicine bottle. There is no label on the bottle of Swedish vodka, which allows you to see its contents of perfect purity. Today the concern produces many varieties of the drink, the most popular among them are:
- Kurant - with a delicate taste of black currant and a rather bright aroma.
- Peppar - with a black pepper flavor.
- Citron - with a citrus aftertaste and aroma.
- Raspberri - with a raspberry hue on the palate.

During the Christmas holidays, the entire nation actively prepares and consumes glögg - a drink similar to mulled wine, which is based on black currant juice, spices, orange peel and wine or cognac.
