The World's Best Places to Catch a Buzz

by Willy Volk (RSS feed) on Mar 26th 2007 at 4:10PM

Recently, we mentioned some of the best places to grab a beer in Eastern Europe. If you were hoping for drinking tips with a more global appeal (both in terms of alcohol and destination), then you want to check out this list, which overflows with 13 of the world's best places to catch a buzz.

In addition to telling you what's bubbling about each of the destinations, the list runs down some of the local spots for sleeping it off. In short, travelers who love tippling will rejoice. Some of the pointers are somewhat sobering (Bourbon in Kentucky; Sake in Japan; Scotch in Scotland), but the majority of the destinations will make you drunk... with delight:

Port in Portugal
Rum in Barbados
Tequila in Jalisco, Mexico
Cognac in Cognac, France
Valtellina in Valtellina, Italy
Cachaça in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Pastis in Provence, France
Trappist ales in Flanders, Belgium
Meritage in Paso Robles, California
Microbrewed beer in New Glarus, Wisconsin

I'd like to point out that Stellenbosch's Wine Route is pretty divine, too, though it didn't make the list.

Evidently, we love drinking here at Gadling, because we have a number of related posts for you to drink in:
