Some laws must have changed in the last months concerning the sale of alcohol in stores in Germany.
Generally, it has always been possible to buy alcohol in various places besides the normal wine dealers, delicatessens, and grocery stores. Places, where it is uncommon to buy alcohol in other countries: cigarette shops, gas stations, corner shops, etc. Yet, I’ve noticed in the last months that various shops are selling wine, predominately Portuguese wines, in places I’ve never seen before: a chocolate shop, paper and pen shop, pharmacy, are amongst those that instantly come to mind.
But, today I saw a large assortment of wine being sold, first, at my video and dvd rental store, and then, even more bizarrely, at the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom shop: “Yes, I’d like three dishtowels and this marvellous bottle of red”. What is happening? Did someone thieve a shipment of wine?
The only explanation is that a whole band of hansome wandering Portuguese wine dealers wined and dined the female shopkeepers in order to get them to place their produce by the cash register. These aforementioned shopkeepers, usually accustomed to browsing through boring catalogues or brochures, were quiet taken (inebriated) by the wine dealers’ charm (produce) and so they agreed to sell the wares between the bed sheets (literally), Belgian chocolates, and latest blockbuster film.
