Thanks!

Lord, probably. I was there a few days ago and they seem to sell just about everything.

Heineken plans to take Strongbow cider global (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/8284822/Heineken-plans-to-take-Strongbow-cider-global.html)

I've seen Strongbow in some places around the world - including here in the Netherlands - where it never used to be before.

Passed through Schiphol today. Can confirm that the only non-spirits they have in See Buy Fly are cans/bottles of Heineken lager.

Thanks to those who replied!

Ugh. Why not take a decent cider global, such as the Bulmers brand also made by the same company?

Give me Irish Bulmers (which, because of that brand, has to be called "Magners" internationally) instead, thanks!!!

Actually not sure about wine (I wasn't looking, sorry!) Be surprised if they didn't... Perhaps I should have said beer/cider rather than non-spirits!

Ralph, this was non-Schengen (near F).

Will give you that one, it is slightly nicer - but if it's that company taking it international I don't think there's much choice.

Strongbow, though, isn't half as nice. As "export" drinks tend to be premium ones, it's a surprising move - Strongbow definitely is not a premium cider. Unless of course they will use a different recipe internationally?
