>>228627had some umeshu recently and it's pretty nice, it's a Jap ume plum liqueur with a sweet / sour kinda taste. It's a bit too sweet to drink in large quantities tho, same with most liqueurs although the tartness does help to cut through the sweetness
and yeah sherry / port / fortified wines in general are great, they've got loads of flavour and I kinda think of them as a middle ground between regular wine and spirits
I think most UK alcoholics these days just drink Glens vodka, I buy it a lot because it's super cheap and if works fine if you just wanna get fucked and you're mixing it anyway. Nice drinks like sherry or whatever are all too expensive for most people now, and super strength lagers + white ciders aren't as widespread as they used to be
