Is alcohol expensive in Turkey?
By Turkish standards, bar drinks are expensive: alcohol carries a high special consumption tax (ÖTV). A glass of wine costs a median ₺425 and a cocktail ₺593. Supermarket prices are much lower than the bar prices on this page.

Are spirits expensive in Turkey?
Yes, more than beer. Turkey's special consumption tax (ÖTV) on alcohol is charged by alcohol content, so a bottle of spirits carries far more tax than a bottle of beer. In bars, a cocktail (usually one or two measures of spirit) costs a median ₺593 (about £8.90 / €10.65), against ₺265 for a 50cl draft beer. Vahada does not list single measures of spirits yet.
