LOL Well trust me they have have the finest Scottish J&Bs and Black Labels, the tastiest bordeauxs and the nastiest Smirnoff Vodkas. Its really multicultural. :)

In saudia arabia its easy to get alcohol if you can afford it, its just expensive thats why so many labourers try to use such methods to produce wine

Both pear-in-the-bottle-brandy and agave-worm-in the-bottle-mezcal go for major dollars. Surely there is a market for rat-in-the-bottle-beaujolais as well??

Just as mezcal cognoscenti differentiate between red & white worms (according to whether they live in the heart of the plant are only on its roots) … Beaujolais rats could be domestic lab raised. Caught in the wild (more expensive, subtly flavored). And most desirable, unborn rat – cut from mother’s womb. Single unborns or in magnums & up – entire litters, sometimes including Mamma Rat.

Sparkling, effervescent rat beaujolais. It could catch on.

Well there’s no doubt that the wine will get you fucked up, if by fucked up you mean contracting the goddamn plague!

To compare this with the fact that it’s perfectly legal (if a bit ossan-ish) to drink beer on the street any time in Japan makes me eternally glad that I chose Japan to be fixated on.

Does the wine carry a Monty Python label? Do they offer any without so much rat in it?

What every country needs – a Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice…. The US seems to have toyed with the idea under President Reagan with Edwin Meese as Attorney General – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Meese

A friend of my worked in Bahrain for years and lived there with his family. The stuff they had to go through to take Holy Communion was really something. Disguised priest. Smuggled host. She was raised Catholic, he converted. I was impressed, as they had children. Under the gun. A real religion.

And thanks, Curzon for this “See your Reply” thingee. Beats an editor. I’m with Dan on God Woot.
