Systembolaget has 450 stores around the country, where they sell alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine, as well as non-alcoholic alternatives.
Their range can vary depending on the size of the store and customer demand. For example, drinks from local breweries are sold at system companies in the specific area, but not in other parts of the country.
