Also, Swedes go on cruises to Åland (a Swedish-speaking Finnish island with low/no alcohol taxes) and famously bring huge suitcases to fill with booze.
I thought it was tax free because the ferries keep loitering on international waters for enough time.
Lol it's both, I've been on the famed swedish booze cruise with family over there and it's a yearly tradition for them to stock up on liquor, but it's also a weekend long party on a boat. One bartender was concerned that 14 year old me didn't want any vodka in my red bull.
