Don’t worry. This hasn’t become a monthly blog, and daily posts will now recontinue. Hopefully, I haven’t lost all of you over this hiatus.

(Here are the winners for white spirits, whiskies, brandies, and liqueurs & other spirits.) Plus, spring is now officially here, and it’s almost time to break out the lawn chairs for some outdoor guzzling! In fact, that’s what this Chinese tourist must’ve had in mind when he plunked down €23,000 ($30,634) in fifteen minutes at a duty-free shop in Paris. I went through that same duty-free shop only a week before and didn’t spend anywhere near that amount! Europe in general seems replete with crazy spenders, though, especially with this new
