Rare Azulann Posted April 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Is it possible to buy wine at the AMS duty shop, while on layover, to bring with me to Stockholm? I will be traveling for MSP -AMS-ARN in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted April 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 15, 2023 It won't be "duty free". Both Netherlands and Sweden are in the Schengen Zone, so it's not considered "international" for tax/duty purposes.

I just remember years ago, coming from Turkey thru AMS. the Duty Free shop was full of flight attendants buying wine to bring back to MSP. My friend bought her husband a very expensive bottle of Scotch. Guess I will have to find some good Italian /Spanish wine while Stockholm to bring on my Viking cruise.

Rare FlyerTalker Posted April 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 15, 2023 And note that "duty free" doesn't necessarily mean "cheaper". I love looking at prices for spirits in various DF stores. Sometimes you can get a good price - other times, you are paying more than you would at Costco. Caveat emptor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it is not 'Duty free' in AMS, it is cheaper to buy wine there than in Stockholm. moreover, wine can only be bought in special shops called 'Systembolaget’ in Sweden. They have excellent wine but expensive. https://www.systembolaget.se Edited April 16, 2023 by hallasm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
