On the other hand, Yugoslavia has some of the best wine and best cork wood in the world.
I’m a huge fan of Avia.
And I am a huge fan of the stuff Montenegrins make with the leftover mash. It's called Lozovac and it similar to Grappa, but not quite as sweet. The best & smoothest of it is made at home over there, and shipped via someone's luggage here (generally with the maker's name written in magic marker on surgical tape and slapped on a reused bottle), but there is some commercially available in the US at specialty liquor stores.
