Does good beer or wine exist in Turkey? I'm staying in Istanbul for a few months. I've found the local food quite nice, but the beer & wine suck mightily. How do I find imported Belgian or German beer, or
good French or Spanish wine. I hear
Georgian wine is basically the best Eastern European wine. How might one find it? What about Greek options?

What has been
your own personal experience with strictly moderate alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks/night) when engaged in any kind of weight loss regimen you've done? Did it have any noticeable effect on your mood, outlook, and progress? Better yet, what changes did you notice cutting out drinking or adding it back in? (please no crusading or mere speculation, thanks)

Can I have wine shipped interstate to Minnesota?
Free The Grapes, a website for a wine trade association, says that Minnesota allows direct shipments. But Wine.com says they can not ship to Minnesota because of state regulations.
What is the law in MN?

Help me identify this
wine rack. I purchased these at a flea market about 10 years ago and would like to expand the rack to hold more bottles. The tubular sections are extruded so they come apart and inter-lock. Anyone know who manufactured them so I could know what to search for?

Trying to find a good venue for a book club in NYC to meet - a coffeeshop or independent bookstore would be ideal, but certainly not necessary. The only real considerations are that it be public, not super-packed on Wednesday nights when we meet, and a place where we can either purchase or bring a bottle of wine - more inside.

Urgent food-wine pairing query: What wine can I serve with banana bread? It comes out of the oven in an hour, will cool, and then I'm off to a party, and would like to bring something to sip on while we all scarf it down in a few hours. I'm using
this recipe, without the bourbon. Also, I'm in Poland, so brands aren't as helpful as actual types of wine; I'll only have time to stop by one shop on the way. Thanks!

How can I find wines from Jura in the New York and New Jersey area, ideally close to New Brunswick, and/or Atlanta. I'm only interested in the wines based on the
Savagnin grape, specifically the Macvin du Jura, Savagnin,
Vin jaune, and
Vin de paille.
I should also find rillettes de canard (or other animals), pre-stuffed escargot, miel (honey) and syrup of violate and/or lavender, but these items are less serious and maybe easier.
