Alcohol in Sweden is notably expensive due to the government’s strict control over its sale and distribution, primarily through the state-owned monopoly Systembolaget. Prices are significantly higher than in many other countries because of heavy taxation aimed at reducing alcohol consumption and related health issues. For instance, a bottle of wine can cost upwards of 100 SEK (approximately $10 USD), while spirits like vodka or whiskey often range from 200 to 500 SEK ($20 to $50 USD) or more, depending on the brand and quality.
