Nobody cares about them. (Seriously, we should just give the POS island to Sweden or have them have their independency they so gravely want.... of course, use of ridiculous amounts of lethal force might work too. )

The champagne bottles alone are estimated to be worth tens of thousands of euros.
They're some expensive bottles of bubbly.

So the Ålanders got a boat containing different kinds of booze and they don't raise it for 200 years?! From what I've heard about the Finns and your drinking habits, no wonder you want to lose them

Easy, use the hangers they come with... think they are more commonly known as women.

Women? They do really exist?
I always thought they were just an invention of the yellow press.
