Sweden Moves to Allow Farm Alcohol Sales

Published: 2024-07-04

The Swedish government has moved closer to allowing farm sales of alcoholic beverages.

A draft bill was presented on Friday, detailing requirements for permits and that the alcoholic drinks must be locally produced.

"We are taking the next step to introduce farm sales, something we hope will be beneficial for both visitors and producers," said Social Minister Jakob Forssmed in a press release.

The new rules are proposed to take effect on June 1, 2025, and will be in place for six years.
