I%26#39;m travelling to Japan for a couple of weeks from Dublin via Helsinki. I%26#39;ll be spending a couple of days in Helsinki on the way back.
Non-Saki wine is very expensive in Japan and I wanted to bring a couple of bottles with me. I was wondering if I can buy this in duty free in Helsinki or if I should bring it from Dublin (checked in to my luggage).
How do alcohol prices in duty free in Helsinki airport compare to other European cities (particularly Dublin)?

The duty free shops in Helsinki airport have a good variety of wines. Prices are comparable with other taxfrees around Europe.

Great - thanks for the feedback!

Hi, I think it depends on how much you usually spend on wine. I have just returned from Helsinki and in my opinion wine is very expensive there, but so are most thinks compared to England. Even in a supermarket in Helsinki wine is expensive and if you are thinking of drinking it in a bar it is at least 5-6 euros for 120cl, less than the smallest glass you will get in the uk. Depending on how much it costs you in Dublin, I would suggest putting it in your suitcase.

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I think you%26#39;re referring to the price of wine in a bar or restaurant? I was thinking of duty free in the airport.

You%26#39;ll save a few euros for sure by buying your wine in a supermarket in Dublin, and you%26#39;ll save a few kilos in your check-in baggage if you buy it in Helsinki. Take your choice.
The range of wine in Helsinki airport is fair but naturally tends to the higher end.
