Favorites from abroad have included first XO brandy, then whisky (most recently Royal Salute scotch whisky). Locally made kaoliang (sorghum liquor) has never faded in popularity. And in the past few years Taiwan has acquired a seemingly irresistible enthusiasm for wine.
最早的 XO 白蘭地、後來的威士忌、皇家禮炮廿一、永遠不退流行的陳高，以及這幾年當紅不讓的葡萄酒，串成了台灣的拚酒文化。
