Behatzlacha-S ...my favourite all time drink is a strong cognac, brewed en France, after a lovely but heavy meal. The intense warm feeling is one of the finest things I've ever experienced in my entire life. Never could get into cognac, all the good stuff cost more than I made in a week, and sometimes a month.  Remy Martin's King Louis XIII. The bottle is Baccarat Crystal... hand blown for each bottle. Amber Diamond in the stopper. The Cognac is casked aged for over 40 years and has been regarded as "The Crown Jewel of Cognac." The bottle is 600 dollars, that's JUST the bottle. However if you want the bottle with the cognac in it, that only goes for a mere... 1800 dollars, which retails for merely 200 to 250 per 1 1/2 oz snifter. I'll stick with bourbon, it's warm, smoky and cost effective.

darkphoenix1247 Dis Domnu It does have a smell though! I can smell it on wine, beer, and other types of drinks. It really does- it reeks, too. Alright, that's it! I'm gonna get you people up where I am and get you some Boddington's Pub Ale. It's practically odorless, and is nitronized for that rich creamy feeling you only get from a can with a widget.

Lord Neuf, try this one: The Beaute de Siecle by Hennessy. The cognac itself is in a Baccarat crystal bottle contained in an ornate wooden chest embedded with mirrored glass and meted aluminium.
A bronze key opens the box which then triggers a concealed switch to make the bottle rise up on a velvet tray.
The drink itself is blended by Hennessy's cellar master Yann Filliouxfrom reserve cognacs between 50 and 100 years old.
It costs a total of £105000. Or about $200,000 to you Yanks lol

We can't even get that here, we have to order it special from across the pond. We will just have to be content with our 2000 and 5000 dollar bottles.

Poor you. Ha. Favourite wine? I've always loved the Estana. It's a lovely, smooth and slightly fruity red from the Costa Del Sol, which I always bring back when I visit my parents there.

LordNeuf Alright, that's it! I'm gonna get you people up where I am and get you some Boddington's Pub Ale. It's practically odorless, and is nitronized for that rich creamy feeling you only get from a can with a widget. That is if most of us were of the legal drinking age. America with it's 21 year old policy! Pish posh. I like my Michelob Light so I won't get fat. wink Cindy, I kid you not. I once drank vodka that smelt like a rotting leather boot. Basically I've been turned off to clear liquids ever sense. Not that I drink that often, it just comes up every once in awhile.

Delicious Reisling Spatlesle =D

Anyone should be allowed to drink. It's getting blathered that's the problem.

Same in Britain. Brown went all Anti-drink about 3 weeks ago, or so I'm told. I give it 10 years until prohabition comes back in either America or Europe.

The black market would consume the liquor industry. I still know places in America where you can get whiskey, freshly made as early as that morning. The DEA cannot stop people from smoking pot, what makes you think they'll stop people from making hooch?

I didn't say it'd work. Hehe.
I'm experimenting with the theory of alcohol. I'd like to try and distill beer. Make an eau de biere. Lol.

That and if I have to acquire a taste for it before I like it...
