It’s perhaps a tad surprising that the Argentines don’t seem to drink a lot of alcohol, particularly as compared with the Spanish.
We’ve been a bit goggle-eyed lately wandering around the supermarket to find.
1L of beer for AU$0.96
1L of gin or vodka for AU$3.41
Really good red wine for AU$4.00 / bottle.
Obviously AU dollar prices are largely irrelevant, but I’ve no doubt that on a purchasing power parity basis, the stuff is still rather a lot cheaper here.
I’ve never visited another country and not though “why is booze so expensive in Australia?”. Mind you, I’ve never been to Scandinavia. I hear they’re doing even better/worse.
