Found this table from the source, wine seems to be quite ahead!
The diagram is the amount of pure alcohol. Beer typilally contains 3.5 % - 5 % alcohol and wine 12 %, thus the consumption of beer in litres is larger than wine.
However, I was also surprised how much wine (with or without alcohol) is consumed in Sweden considering its price.
Edit: phrasing
Pretty sure in sweden supermarket sold beer maxes out at 3.5% alc if i remenber that right.
Yes, beer with up to 3.5 % you can buy in a supermarket. Beer above 3.5 % is called strong beer (starköl) which you can only buy at Systembolaget, the governmental alcohol store. Considering a large part of the beer is light beer (lättöl) or folks beer (folköl) below 3.5 %, the amount of beer to cover the 36 % pure alcohol is even higher.
