Wine in the snack store?

I cannot stop being amazed over the places they sell alcohol here in Hong Kong. I mean, it's so de-dramatized to drink alcohol here, just not a big deal. And most Hong Kong people I've met don't even drink. No wonder they make alcohol available basically everywhere. 

Wine for sale in a snack store. 

You can buy a beer, wine and alcoholic cider at SevenEleven, and they give you a straw if you don't want to drink directly from the bottle. Of course you can buy all kinds of alcohol in the grocery store. They have often a fairly okay selection, and it's often cheaper to buy at least two bottles, for example one bottle of Penfold's Konunga Hill costs 89 HKD, or buy two for 109 HKD. It's crazy, right? 

There are also designated liquor stores as well, and most of them seem catered to the "fine wine" drinker. I haven't been in to one yet, but when it's time for me to spend money on an Amarone I will be sure to visit a specialty wine store :). 

The weirdest place I have seen alcohol for sale is in a Japanese snack store. In this store they sell all kinds of snacks like chips, chocolates, cookies and Honey's favorite, dried squid (ewww...). Now they also have a selection of wines. It's just... weird, or odd at least, and absolutely fascinating. 

I think Honey told me the age of buying alcohol in Hong Kong is 18 years, but it seems like most stores don't seem to care that much. Again, from what I've seen, heard and experienced so far, Hong Kong teenagers aren't that interested in drinking alcohol, and I still don't know where the day drunks hang out. Of course there are exceptions to this assumption, but over all, alcohol doesn't seem to appeal to Hong Kongers. I guess they do other stuff...
