Vinmonopolet

Oslo


This branch of the state wine and spirit chain has a good selection of French, Italian and Spanish wines, including well-priced French wine in plastic screw-cap bottles, excellent for picnicking by the river. Note: you must be least 20 years old to purchase, and there are usually long queues on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
