It has effect! People are buying less American.
According to Systembolaget (the liquor monopoly of Sweden), there has been a drop in sales of American liquor by 17% this year. This is likely caused by boycotts after the tariffs introduced against Europe.
Long term, this may have an effect on which goods they buy in.
With Norwegian eyes, you guys do not have a high alcohol tax.
yeah i know there are a lot of border shops. how much is it in norway? i think we have a tax of 500sek/l of pure ethanol
It’s a lot more complicated and not based on pure ethanol, but on liters of the product and alcohol percentage, with tax varying from 3,64-23,68 NOK per liter. One basic beer in the shop costs from 40 and up, while it starts at just over 100 in bars.
it’s apparently a lot more complicated here as well, i was just assuming the rate for pure ethanol was universal but it’s not.
