[#4298] I need an English Translation of a word

[Gjest Nancy-Jo Gustafson]

Hi, someone has very kindly sent me a lot of information on my family, however, I don't understand a certain word in the history. I am hoping someone can explain it's meaning. My great-uncle, Arnold Holmboe is listed as being the last manager of the Vinmonopolet. What is the Vinmonopolet? This is something I have never heard of before.Thank you.

Vinmonopolet = "The State wine and liquor monopoly"
