In line with previous comments, Turkey produces marvellous wines in Cappadocia. Greece has Retsina and Ouzo. South Africa does make wine but they also do good spirits and any alcoholic worth his salt will have heard of SA Breweries. Mozambique has a nice domestic beer. There is no shortage of alcohol for travellers in Dubai. Namibia is home to a wonderful brewery that even exports. Need we go on?
