You have full service liquor stores there and I guess you presume that all
places do. They don't! We used to when the liquor stores were state run.
Now anyone can sell it.

And Amazon most certainly doesn't have rip off prices. Their prices overall
are very good! Yes, you have to check the price and check the shipping.
But if straight from them, then you get free shipping with a $25 order.
They have recently done something that they call add ons or something like
that where countless other companies go through them and they will tack your
small item onto your order for free. Yes, it will ship from a different
place so you might not get everything all on the same day. I order a *lot*
of stuff from Amazon. If I remember to go in through my brother's website,
he gets paid for what I order. And I have many gift cards for them through
Swagbucks. So often my order is discounted or even free.
