    Any man who drinks Dom Perignon '52 can't be all bad.

    2013 Schafer-Frohlich, Weingut Bockenauer Stromberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs, Germany.

    Winery WG Stromberg-Zabergäu...located in Brackenheim, Württemberg Germany--just a short drive from Stuttgart or Heilbronn! (Cork for the sparkling wine. Screw cap label has the man dressed in a barrel. I guess that's truth in advertising.)

    Feels like a 'worst drinks in history' thread... ;-)

    A pocket-sized emergency Martini, for those Martini emergencies:

    Love the heart on the Gordon's. And the FURY ROAD contribution.

    But seriously, it's unfair to label these bottles
    as "worst drink" just because they're unfamiliar. Some are in fine company.

    Now who DOESN'T want to try Thunderball Tonic Wine? It just sounds so right...

    True, absolutely true.

    To be clear, I also support the drinking of water.

    Water? Yes, of course!

    Can be with a lot of drinks really ;-)

    I like clear liquids, @Agent_99. Vodka, just as good.

    I'd have to try it first. Then judge. Watching for a bitter aftertaste, maybe.

    I was on a cross-Channel ferry on Monday and seized the opportunity to buy a bottle of the seldom-seen export strength Gordon's, for greater 1950s Vesper autenticity. (Domestic market Gordon's is a measly 37.5%.)

    At £18 for a litre, I'm sure I'm in for a quality drinking experience...

    Absolutely! And if you forget about the Vesper recipe and just take the classic four cl gin with two cl medium vermouth you're in for an even better experience.
    By the way it is my understanding that the gin at the time of CR was rather less concentrated than today's standard Gordon's than more. About 32% I gather.

    I will try that - thanks!

    I thought it was the other way round, and the percentage had dropped. Ah well - can't imagine Ian Fleming objecting to the use of stronger gin...

    Got our own vodka supplier in my town.
    Titos Vodka. Pretty damn good.

    Tito's is higher end stuff than I usually buy, but I'll try it.

    Was going to add this as well, martini variation.

    Of course there are cocktails sharing the name.
    Bordiga premium gin rosa, raspberry purée, apricot and apple.

    Yeah they are the main supplier for the company I work for so I get some free mini bottles every now and then. The mini bottles are cheap around $1-$2.

    Oh, well, I'm definitely trying a Pussy Galore. (The first version; second one looks a bit fancy-pants for me.)

    That's a splendid photo, too.
