I live in the only place in Nouvelle Zealande that isnt allowed to sell beer and wine in the supermarket. Its so a trust can jack up the prices.
We have to go over the border to Blockhouse Bay to get critical supplies at a reasonable cost.
Blardy worse than Norway and their state grog shops

729521 2008-12-16 03:52:00 This is how we used to buy beer when I drove the buses guys.

We got 100 Dozen of Carlsberg Elephant duty free on the Copenhagen Ferry. 29 People on the bus and it was all gone in 8 Days, along with a lot of Russian Vodka and Champagne. This photo was taken when the Police made us unload the bus after we got caught for being overloaded. We drank some and had to re-distribute the rest along the inside walkway of the bus to get the rear axle weight legal.

On that same trip most of us did the Carlsberg and Also the Tuborg Brewery tour on the same day.


100 Dozen of San Miguel from a Spanish Hypermarket, lasted about 2 weeks in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, when we couldn't get anything else. This photo does not do it justice, each trip down there it was 5 Supermarket trolleys of San Miguel

Harleys and Waikato excepted.

Taste the beer made in Morocco and India, you might change your mind. I have tasted many in over 40 countries and they are the worst two.

Carlsberg, Efes, Tuborg, San Miguel among the better beers.

Well bugger me, most people here thought we were the only ones.
I dont feel so bad now.
So no where in all of Southland can you buy grog in a supermarket?

I just went into Countdown in Napier (the new one, we have two countdowns that are a 2 min walk from each other)

One loaf of Quality Bakers (we're stuck on the brand) was $4.20

15 pack of Tui was $25

A packet of Chocolate Fingers was $4.30

at the start of this year this would have been just over $25...

Shocking.:yuck:

Oh well, at least PC World is only $8.90:cool:

Give up on the chocos man!

:cool:

I suppose that India and Morocco are lucky their climate guarantees a thirst enabling even their almost bad beers to sell.
