But... where do the Polish and Czech go?

The great Baltic migration.

Meanwhile, all arrows point to Poland, flashback to 1940s but with Alcohol instead of bombs.

I really wish I knew where the UK went for cheaper booze. I guess we go fuck ourselves

Whereas Iceland wishes it wasn't an Island.

German alcohol taxes generally aren't bad, going to Poland or Czechia should mostly be about general shopping trips. The Luxembourg thing is absolutely true, but rather specific: In Germany you pay more tax per ml of alcohol the higher the ABV is and if you want to make your own liqueur you wan to start out with real high ABV and then dilute down, a litre of 96% is about 30 Euros in Germany, 20 in Luxembourg. Wouldn't be worth the trip for more pedestrian ABVs.

You can generally import as much as you want within the EU as long as it's for your own use, to not have to explain yourself keep the booze to under 10l per person.

German beer taxes are low, like 10ct per litre on average. Wine taxes are even lower because France exists, German vinyards do have a lobby and all they want is to make sure is that people don't get used to paying more than a fiver for a bottle or they might start buying import stuff.

Beer is actually cheaper in Switzerland than France, less taxes. As someone who lives on the border, I buy all my booze in Switzerland. Atleast in supermarkets.

Obviously swiss labour is much more expensive so in bars and restaurants its more expensive in Switzerland.

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.
