I admit, I am kinda... low income drinker and yes, even "we don't drink it for the taste" (meme from my Russian workcamp. Our Russian camp leaders claimed they can tell difference between vodkas. We drank it because "Russia....hahhahaha". Also, I learned Russians drink quietly, whatever it means).

As for wines,I like Balkans wines. Probably in the last cathegory of Moravian wine categorization "good, good for hot wine, bad, good for people from Prague".

I drink to unwind, to unblock writer's block. And sometimes just-cause.

(sadly, we had lot of problems with methanol-containing hard liquor in Czechlands lately. So I am bit paranoid about it).
