'Definitely' and 'guess' ? Without the numbers, I'm not buying it....

Well, I allowed myself to use the word "definitely", since I travel from Sweden very often and it was never cheaper to buy alcohol in systembolaget (which is the only store where you can buy alcohol in Sweden).
However, I actually do have numbers of my latest purchase;
Johnnie Walker Black Label (0,7L) costs 379kr (= 55$ or 41€ ) in Sweden, compared to 23€ (1L) at Amsterdam Schiphol.
Chivas Regal 595kr (= 87$ or 65€) in Sweden, compared to 42€ at DF.
An exception to that, would be wines that cost more than 1000kr in Sweden.
I "guessed" it goes the same for the whole Scandinavia, since alcohol is more expensive in Norway and only a tad cheaper in Denmark.
