In South Africa, beer and wine is sold in supermarkets. All the beer and wine is locally produced and readily consumed. I have enjoyed drinking some old favourite wines.
The local currency is 'Rand'. The exchange rate is about R:$ = 6:1. In other words to calculate what an item is going to cost me I divide the amount by 6.
There is VAT and GST (taxes) on many products but all taxes are included in the price. The price on the label is what you pay at the till - it's wonderful - I wish the PEI Government would pass this kind of legislation. My son Rynier is the basket bearer.

So the real question is - can you bring some wine home??
We are missing you!!
And it's cold!!
Forget the wine - bring some sunshine and warmth ok??
I can't bring wine back because I have a connecting flight. They confiscate any alcohol at the connecting airport. What a crying shame!
