Is it sad to take bottles of wine on holiday?

We are going on holiday to a small but expensive island. Supermarkets obviously sell wine but it’s £10 for a crap wine. Beach bars sell bottles to drink on the beach but they’re £40-50.

I buy nice wine on special offer in the UK for ~£8 a bottle, and always take a cooler to the beach for water too. I’m not pay £6 for a bottle of water.

I have spare weight in my luggage, is it sad to take bottles of wine with me?

Not sad at all. I brought 2 bottles of champagne with me to a Greek island, as non Greek wines were so expensive there, double the price minimum I would get at the supermarket.

I took duty free wine to Oslo. Prices were extortionate,.
