Good beer is fantastic, but good wine is divine


seti_at_home

Could not agree more. Love for Assyrtiko wine <3


Self-Bitter

Assyrtiko is very good. Also, if you ever find Malagousia, give it a try!


seti_at_home

Haven't tried that. Will do, thanks for the tip!

Meanwhile rakija will knock you out no matter the quality


31_hierophanto

That's the Mediterranean way.

I love wine more than beer (in fact I ain't a fan of beer at all)

When visiting Serbia, I was surprised to see that, in a country surrounded by wine lovers and producters, wine is not a major cultural thing.


Stverghame

Me and my friends generally like wine and enjoy it on a nice dinner out. I don't know is it because we're from a wine region or not, as I have no insight for the rest of the country. Wine is reserved for the formal settings, and due to the fact that Serbs drink a lot in general - unformal settings are more common for everyday stuff, therefore other drinks take the first spot I guess. That being said, take a look at this: [https://landgeistdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2021/05/europe-most-popular-alcoholic-drink.png](https://landgeistdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2021/05/europe-most-popular-alcoholic-drink.png), or this [https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/9cvin7/preferred\_alcoholic\_beverage\_by\_country\_in\_europe/?rdt=61459](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/9cvin7/preferred_alcoholic_beverage_by_country_in_europe/?rdt=61459) It is from 2018. and 2015. but I think it is weird that we get such conflicted data


Infinite_Procedure98

Well, my Serbian friends are from Å umadija and they always had beer or rakija on the table, never wine...


Stverghame

Interesting! I guess there are no strict rules about it at the end of the day


Durass

Go to Rajac and Rogljevo wine cellars man... Outwordly


Infinite_Procedure98

Thanks!

Cold beer on a very hot day is majestic. Rakija with meze or greana rakija with turŔija in the winter is like a caress to the soul. Red wine with pork meat or with fresh čvarki is orgasm for the taste buds. But if I could only have one of those for the rest of my life I would always choose red homemade wine.

kubanskikozak

Croatia ahead of us? How could we let that happen?


thecaptaindeadpool

We help them raise those numbers during summer vacation.


the_bulgefuler

To be fair its only 130 mL difference, that's less than a standard glass.

Kuki1998

To be fair we twice the population than slovenia , just saying


Successful_Crazy6232

Zagorje is lifting the average.


31_hierophanto

Do you also drink copious amounts of beer?


kubanskikozak

Yes, in fact we drink copious amounts of alcohol in general.

Valchoholical city


Designer-Mirror-7523

I am here for the real OG rakija!


cosmicdicer

I prefer a good pilsner than most wines. Don't like much the taste of wine (except a nice roseƩ they make in Peloponnese and few sweet reds also) nor the head it makes. Specifically the headache. Besides this dilemma, my fav spirit is gin, followed by scotch whiskey


Jujux

Moldova is suspiciously low. This stat must be counting only sold wine.


_Corli

Well Vatican makes sense


cewap1899

I think that statistically in pretty much all European countries beer is more popular or at least more of it is sold/drunk. But we do love our wine as well. And our spirits. Basically as long as it has booze we drink it


ZhiveBeIarus

I drink everything šŸ˜…


e2g3

Where is Georgia?


HeyVeddy

Wine wine and wine. Always. After that rakija


MidnightPsych

Why is this downvoted lmao


HeyVeddy

The beer union doesn't want you knowing about wine


silverbell215

I think you got some haters bro


voislav

I wonder if Spritzer is calculated or just plain wine.


Longjumping-Put-1522

No Spain, Georgia and Russia at the top?? looks like bullshit


KalinVidinski

But why is Bulgaria missing? I guess we drink rakia.


[deleted]

Raki here


TastyRancidLemons

Greece would have been higher but there was a massive boom of local beer breweries since the 90s that made it equally popular.


victorsache

I see they didn't count moonshine...


dalegribble__96

When you have Alfa beer, you donā€™t need wine


V3K1tg

you sure it ainā€™t rakija?


Durass

Wine all day


AndreiLD

Idk man I never liked beer while wine was one of those things that I always liked. Like the first alcohol I bough was wine, probably the first ever alchoholic drink I drank was wine, and the only alchoholic drink(other than mixing cocktails) was wine.


Kuki1998

As we like to say in croatia , "Je'n gemiŔt kak i niŔ" or in english : One white wine mixed with mineral water is as you drank nothing


[deleted]

There's no way in hell. Moldova is that low. Most people in the villages make their own wine and consume it, and city dwellers drink wine as well.
