Frequently Asked Questions

The question we are most often asked by foreign people is: "How to get Koskenkorva Viina from abroad?"

To our knowledge Koskenkorva Viina ("Kossu") is sold only in Finland and on the ferries travelling to and from the country. It might also be available in places where Finnish people buy their tax-free liquor while visiting neighbouring countries such as Sweden and Estonia.

Some years ago there was a company that exported Kossu, along with other Finnish products, but sadly they seem to have gone out of business. The only trace of the company we were able to find was their defunct website at www.exfennia.fi with a message from 1999 claiming that the pages will soon be opened to the public.

We also tried to send a bottle of Kossu to the US a couple of years ago but found out that it cannot be done, not in a legitimate manner anyway. It is illegal according to the US postal regulations or the law to send alcoholic beverages to United States.

We wish good luck to all our foreign friends and happy hunting for a company that could supply you with Koskenkorva. Meanwhile you are most welcome to visit Finland and buy your favorite drink here.
