The state still has a monopoly on alcohol in Sweden. The big upside with "systembolaget" is that you can find just about every wine, beer or spirit worth mentioning there. I doubt that there is another store in the world (genarally speaking that is) that has such big variety.

The downside is if you live i a place that doesn't have it, it could get a bit tedious to go to the nearest store. But just about every small town you could think of has it so it's not a big thing imo. It's kind of pricy if you compare it to stores in other countries also.
