Say what??? $30 is the cheapest wine you can buy?! Am I understanding that correctly? If so, Sweden just fell in the ranks for me, lol.
A bottle at the bar.
Not a bottle at the store
Oooohhhh. Phew! In that case, that's not bad. Do you guys have corking charges there? Here we are now able to bring our own wine to restaurants, but the establishment charges a corking fee, which in some cases is ridiculously high. But in other cases, it's still worth it if you want a bottle of wine. The corking fee might be $25 - $40, which seems insane until you consider that the cheapest bottle you can buy in that particular restaurant is $50 or $60.

That sounds weird - bringing your own alkohol? Haha. Never heard of it. I think it is strictly forbidden here to bring in alcohol to places that sell alcohol.

It’s pretty common to be able to bring your own wine to a restaurant. It’s not the standard, but even restaurants in my little podunk town do it. I’ve recently started seeing BYOB at restaurants, but in my experience these tend to be places in bigger cities and that don’t serve beer.

Here in Ontario we can bring our own wine, if the establishment allows, and they have cork fees...

Just picked up two nice bottles of Pinot Grigio for dinner tonight. Headed to an excellent local Italian place.
Isn't part of earing at "excellent" places that they recommend a wine to the dish you pick...?
Well it is a byob so it is impossible. However even when I am at a restaurant with a liquor liscense I drink what I like.
Okey wait, so the places that has "byob" are places that don't offer alcohol ?
They offer alcohol. When Ontario brought in "bring your own wine option", the reason given was that some restaurants don't carry a particular wine that someone wants, plus for those who make their own, this gives them the option to bring their own. The BYOB option is limited to wine, the restaurants wanted to have that option.

Correct, byob is bring your own. Some places might have local wine for sale (it is a different type of liquor liscense) but I could bring wine, beer, vodka, etc...

I wonder if that's allowed in swedish restaurants that do not have alcohol selling permits. Interesting work-around if you don't have a permit for whatever reason. Hmm.

No
Corkage fee structure are for places that sell stuff but allow you to bring your own, for a fee BYOB places (here at least) are places that don't have their liquor licenses...so if you want booze / wine / beer you bring it. Some folks have fancy cases to carry their fancy wines in
