Changes to Finland's alcohol laws will permit online sales, home delivery and international sales of alcoholic beverages, as well as more online marketing of spirits.
Alko is overpriced, has extremely limited selection and most stuff is of very low quality, and it actively kills off all local small manufacturers. We have 2 wineries in my town, neither got into Alko. They only exist to feed government funds and corruption now (top management just happens to get bonuses, not even mentioning total lack of monitoring of bribes from industry), who cares about healthcare of population when people can import alcohol through EU, cook it at home, and until recently just smuggle extremely poisonous stuff from Russia (I know people who did it repeatedly well after the border was “closed”).
