Spain

In addition to wine, Spain produces a variety of spirits that reflect its regional diversity. Brandy de Jerez, a well-known Spanish brandy, is crafted in the same region as Sherry and is aged using the solera system, giving it a rich and complex flavor. Spain is also home to the popular herbal liqueur, Licor 43, made with 43 different ingredients, including citrus and vanilla.

Gin and tonic, known as "gintonic" in Spain, is a beloved cocktail, often prepared with premium Spanish gins like Gin Mare and served with elaborate garnishes. Spain’s drinking culture is also characterized by the social tradition of tapas, where small dishes are paired with local wines, beers, or spirits, creating a communal and vibrant atmosphere that is central to the Spanish way of life.
