Sitting coquettishly on the Apennine boot, blessed Italy is a trendsetter in everything from jewelry to furniture design. Italian cuisine and drinks are also a subject of considerable delight for its guests, especially since the inhabitants of the country are known far beyond its borders for their generosity and ability to support any company.
Italian alcohol
Each meal in Italy is accompanied by a glass of wine, and therefore buying or ordering alcohol in a restaurant in this European state is not a problem. A bottle of Chianti type wine can cost from 5 to 150 euros in a supermarket, depending on the variety and brand. In order to enjoy a decent sample, it is enough to spend 8-10 euros.
The import of alcoholic beverages into Italy is governed by the general rules of the European Union. In order not to upset the customs, you should not buy more than a liter of strong alcohol and two - dessert wine as souvenirs for Italian friends. There are no restrictions on the export of traditional Italian products and wines.
National drink of Italy
For the title of national in the country, many drinks can compete, traditionally consumed for reasons and without them. Of the non-alcoholic ones, the palm should be given to coffee, which no real Italian can live without. Coffee is prepared in hundreds of ways, seeing off the day and meeting the dawn, offering it to friends and loved ones. It is worth trying not only the traditional cappuccino and espresso, but also the caffe corretto, in which a little grappa is added to complete the sensations.
And yet the most national drink of Italy, its pride and honor is the delicious Chianti wine, to compare it with any other is a thankless and useless task. The pot-bellied bottle in bast braid is recognizable among hundreds of others, and its fragrant and tart contents become a successful addition to both national Italian cuisine and many other dishes from the world menu.
