Minimum age to buy alcohol at Moscow (Sheremetyevo) Airport?

Question

I am 18 years old, an Indian citizen and a Canadian permanent resident. I am travelling from Toronto to Mumbai via Moscow (Sheremetyevo). I want to know if I will be able to buy alcohol off the duty-free shops at the airport.

Answer 1

Legally is it 18.

HOWEVER, I bought and drank alcohol in Russia at 15. They dont enforce the rule except at really fancy clubs.

In my extensive travel opinion the United States is the only country that really enforces a drinking age. CAnda does a little bit also.

Answer 2

You will be fine. They are not even gonna ask you for ID, I bet you.
