I was in Prague shortly after the Berlin wall went down. Incredibly
inexpensive. A case of 250cc orange juices (24 of them) from a vendor
at the train station for under $2 (6-7 cents a piece). Mead in what
looked like beer bottles for less than the price of seltzer in the US.
Best mead I ever had but to my dismay, someone drank the last bottle
in my refrigerator and threw it away before I could record the brand
name (I should have recorded it earlier).
