Don't forget the bank fees!

Qatar is regarded as one of the most expensive countries in the world to buy alcohol in. The cost to buy a bottle of wine in Qatar will vary but realistically it will cost around 200 Qatari Riyal, or about £48 a bottle.

However, if you're paying on your bank card or a prepaid travel card you could be paying a few pounds more in international bank charges each time you buy a bottle.
