Help me out: How much does a bottle of Heinekin cost where you live?

[Richard Bruns]

We have to do a project on retail price comparisons over the euro-zone, and I haven´t been able to find any information about this online. We need to know how much a 0.33 liter bottle of Heineken beer costs in "a leading retail chain where it is available" in the following countries:

France
Italy
Spain
Finland
Austria
Germany

If you live in one of these countries or have traveled there recently, and you know how much this beer costs in a retail store, could you post it here? It doesn´t have to be precise; any information will be useful. Thanks in advance.

on Heiny

I know good beer of Samual Adams I can get for $9.99 (for 12 bottles) at the supermarket or drug store when it is on sale.

[KrazyHorse]

This won't help since I'm in Canada, but here it's 1.30-1.50 Canadian a bottle in a sixpack

(8-9$ a sixpack)

That's in canbucks; in Euros it's 0.80-0.92 per bottle

"Normal" (local) beer is a bit less expensive (call it 0.70 euros a bottle).

[Timexwatch]

In my experience, the price will vary heavily depending in the locality and taste. It should be cheaper than the U.S.; Heinekin runs 17 a case in here and is more expensive back home...

[KrazyHorse]

I should mention that in a two-four (24 bottles, or what the Americans call a case) it's about 10% discounted per bottle.

also you should ask how much it costs in St. Martin. That was a dutch virgin island in the carribean. When our ship did a port call there Henekin was everywhere and fairly cheap. Henekin and Rum were the cheap stuff ther. I think I remember buying it at $1 or $1.50 a bottle over there. That is a per bottle price, and that is a good price. I can also give you the prices of the prostitues over there too if anyone's interested

In Finland:

One bottle (0,33 l) of Heineken (5% vol. alc.) costs 1,96 € in ALKO (the finnish alcohol retail chain).

And it's never on sale, and it's not sold anywhere else than these shops.

You know, there's a law in finland, that disallows the selling of alcohol stronger than 4% in food markets - or anywhere else than ALKO-stores...

[KrazyHorse]

Holy **** that's expensive.

Frogger -
No wonder people here say, that some people spend all their money in alcohol. You don't have to buy much, and still get rid of all your money.

Having a party here costs a fortune

[Zopperoni]

Richard probably has the Dutch prices already, but for those interested, this is what Heineken costs in its home country:

Heineken 0.5l bottle (in 18-bottle case): €0.68 per bottle
Heineken Longneck 0.33l bottle (in 4-bottle case): €0.92 per bottle

Prices are from a large liquor store chain called "Gall & Gall"

[HershOstropoler]

IIRC something around 1 € in Austria. I just fear it's been kicked out of the store where I usually shop, so I can't check.

[Pandemoniak]

4.62 Euros the 6 in France. Its darn piss anyway.

[Harovan]

We have several dozen brands of beer in our store here (Bavaria, Germany), but Heineken is not among them. Probably because nobody would buy it. I will look and see it in another store, may be in Bamberg, where (still) are US forces stationed.

a 0.33 costs around a euro here, a bit less, I think, though we obviously don't use euros, It's standard exchange rate.

And aaglo: I thought about it a lot, and I came to the conclusion that it is good that finns have expensive booze. My grandmother told me stories that when she lived in Leningrad/St.Petersburg, she saw hammered Finns there all the time, taken back home in Soviet ambulances. She told me that you're perhaps the most alcoholist nation, and that's coming from a Soviet citizen!

Azazel - humans are that way built. The thing they can't have (or is regulated) exites people the most.

And you should believe your grandmother. There is truth in her words
