Purchasing wine in the Baltic Ports

[larablair]

I know there will be wonderful beer and vodka available. Any of the countries make wine? Or sell good wine at a reasonable price?

I'm curious to hear what responses you'll get. I wanted to buy some Russian wine last year -- I'd heard from a couple of sources that Georgian wines were pretty decent. So I asked our Den Rus guide to make a special stop at a wine seller. It was quite a nice store. The owner made some recommendations and I asked my guide if she thought these were good. She said, "Yes, it's of the quality that I would take to my boyfriend's mother if I were invited to her house for dinner."

 

I bought a couple bottles each of red and white. Both of them were pretty awful! I guess maybe she didn't like her boyfriend's mother very much....;)

In CPH where we stayed one night:

The wines that are available are mostly French / Italian / German / South American.

Grocery Stores had wines of all price ranges with many on sale.

Magazin (Department Store off Stroget): Had high-end wines on sale at good prices.

On Stroget, there were two wine stores -- one was just high priced and the other had a range of very good wines at good prices. They even recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch! I don't remember their names but I think the better one was near the Rundtower. /Sultan

There is a wine shop in Dubrovnik where we picked up an inexpensive bottle. It was quite good for the cost.

We found wines expensive throughout the Baltic.

If you go to Estonia Russian "champagne" was cheaper than in Russia as was the vodka.
