Well, they have now cranked open a wine bar in Schengenland with 1000 wines and sun dried tomatoes on offer.

Sigh, and then this comment from the press release.

"Less than 10 euros will buy you a glass of a venerable vintage, which you can enjoy with the guidance of our expert professionals,” says wine connoisseur Juha Lihtonen"

Talk about waste of terminal space...I have a friend who is a big player in the Helsinki gastronomy biz and he is always saying snobbery is the worst enemy of profit making.
