Vinmonopolet Svolvær

Vinmonopolet is Norway's state-run alcohol monopoly, meaning this is the only place you'll find wine, spirits, and strong beers over 4.7% ABV — grocery stores simply aren't allowed to sell them. It's a straightforward, no-frills shop, but the selection is solid and the staff are generally knowledgeable. Stock up here, because options elsewhere in Vågan are limited.
