Kingsley offers some advice for drinking abroad. A few of these items, I'm guessing, would apply locally as well:

> Faced with a choice between bad or untrustworthy red wine on the one hand, and ditto white on the other, pick the red.

> Smell the stuff carefully before drinking.

> If the red strikes you as thick, dark and heavy, feel no shame in cutting it with the local bubbly mineral water; worth trying in parts of Italy and Spain.

> Gin men should slip a small bottle of Angostura into their luggage. You can knock together some sort of drink with it–and gin–under almost any conditions, and you can never find it abroad; well, yes, Gibraltar and Malta, perhaps.

One of partners got me a nifty flask for Christmas. After reading this, I went and filled it up.
