from a friend who owns a hotel in Bali.We had been catching up & chatting about work,family etc & he said
"There is no imported booze to be found in Bali due to a crackdown on illegal tax stickers.You can't buy a drop of Australian wine anywhere.If it doesn't get better people will just have to put up with local wines."
It appears that imported supplies have definately run dry from both retail & wholesale outlets.Sounds like everyone better get used to drinking mocktails,Bintang,local wines or spirits or the duty free that you take from home until the situation is resolved.
