pienkäyttöön

Pienkäyttöön is a Finnish term that translates to "for small-scale use" or "for light use." It is often used in contexts related to the sale and consumption of alcohol, specifically referring to beverages with a lower alcohol content. In Finland, alcoholic beverages are categorized based on their alcohol percentage, and those designated "pienkäyttöön" typically fall within specific legal limits that allow for broader availability, often in grocery stores rather than specialized liquor stores.

This classification is important for understanding Finnish alcohol regulations and purchasing habits. Beverages for small-scale use are generally less potent than those requiring a license to sell or purchase. The term implies that these products are intended for moderate consumption, differentiating them from stronger spirits or wines. The availability and marketing of these products are subject to Finnish law, which aims to regulate alcohol consumption and its associated societal impacts. The concept of pienkäyttöön helps to distinguish between different levels of alcoholic strength and their respective points of sale and consumption.
