Post offices are definitely easy to find in Korea.
Much like the stores at home, these stores specialize in wines and hard alcohol, both Western and Korean. They are usually staffed by knowledgeable associates, who can easily recommend something to suit your tastes. They don’t have quite as wide a selection as some of the stores back home, but the prices are fair.
