==Products== As the only retailer of strong [[alcoholic beverage]]s in Finland, Alko has an extensive range of products ranging from rare wines to bulk vodka. Its wine selection has grown in recent decades as there has been an increase in consumption and a government drive to change Finnish drinking habits to a more "European" style, which means a move from hard liquor to wine and beer. While wine consumption has increased, this has not replaced consumption of other alcoholic beverages, negating the "Europeanisation" argument.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}} Nowadays wines occupy most of the shelf space in an Alko shop. Its beer selection is concentrated on stronger versions of the domestic bulk lagers and some high-quality strong beers from major beer-producing countries as well as traditional [[Sahti]] at some locations. Hard spirits include several Finnish brands of vodka and all major types of hard liquor. Alko also sells brands of drinks produced by the Finnish state-owned company [[Altia]], which are traditional products and not sold abroad. Many of these date back to the first products launched after the end of [[prohibition in Finland]]. These are usually for mixing drinks. In 2024, Alko's strongest selling liquor is a tar liquor called 762 Tumma, which, as the name suggests, has an alcohol content of 76.2%.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000010500468.html|title=Tämä on väkevintä viinaa, mitä Alkosta saa|first1=Sallamaari|last1=Niittymäki|first2=Simo|last2=Holopainen|work=[[Ilta-Sanomat]]|date=16 June 2024|access-date=20 July 2024|language=fi}}</ref>
