HAPPY HAPPY !!! 
Victory Gin: The alcoholic beverage drunk by Outer Party members--it is colorless, oily, tastes like nitric acid and has a sickly smell. Drinking it causes an effect like being hit on the back of the head with a rubber club.
It is the only product in Oceania that is both cheap and easy to find.

Soju an alcoholic spirits with its carrots has deeply anchored in Korean culture.
The head ingredient is rijst, almost always in combination with ingredients such as wheat, barley, sweet potato or maniokwortel (dangmil in Korean). Soju are clear of colour and have an alcohol percentage that lie between 20 and 45 per cent, but 20% are most attentive. The taste is similar with vodka already is soju barge and something sweeter because it has been added there during production sugar.
Korean woman in Hanbok paints waaierShōchū is the Japanese version of soju. Soju are sometimes confused with rise wine a term which is generally used for cheongju, the Korean equivalent for Sake. Soju seem on Chinese baijiu (graan liquor).
As from 1965 up to 1991, by the Korean government a prohibition has been on of graan for using traditional soju.
Soju were at the time made by a mix of pure ethanol with water and taste substances. The largest part of the cheaper types soju's is still this way made. Soju produced also diluted soju are this way called. Soju geprocudeerd destillatie distilled soju are called. The maximum alcohol percentage has been determined by the Korean government. Up to this percentage 35 can amount to.
Bottle is obtain soju on tafelSoju in Korea very easily, each convenience store have 1 or several frigidaire especially for this popular spirits. There soju in Korea also not expensive are compared to other alcoholic spirits are soju the most popular alcoholic drink in Korea. More than 3 billions (3.000.000.000 .000) swindle has been drunk up in 2004, in Zuid-Korea. On the other hand beer whisky and wine always populairder in Korea becomes.
Jinro are Korea's massive soju-producent (in 2004, 70 million cases were sold).
Cham i sul (참이슬), four times filtered soju produced Jinro. But Cheo um cheo reom (처음처럼 - what means litterally if the first time) of Doosan win also more and more market share. |

Dit spyt my, maar ek weet nie... Meeste van die alkohol wat kom af van - en gedrank in - die Nederlands is kak...
Nou, die biere van Australie of Belgie en Germanie...ah, dit 'n ander ding is...
Verskoon vir my, asseblief...my Afrikaans nie so goed is nie...ek het dit laaste praat baie jare gelede... |

| Soju-based cocktails were starting to become trendy among the trendy crowd in San Francisco last time I lived there. A glass with a shot of the stuff mixed with several other things was going for $10 and up. Insane. |
but it's also about $10 a bottle in the US. It's still way over priced at the $1-$1.50 per bottle in Korea. |

| Groovy. I actually like soju and prefer it to beer or hard liquor. It's only 3,000 won a bottle and in such abundance that people complain and detest it and believe it's suitable only for the lower classes. BUT, if I slap an extra "0" or two and make it 30,000 - 300,000 won/dollar a bottle and limit it's availability, with a catchy name, a gold seal and wax seal over the cap then people will rave about it. Hey, I just found my extra source of income! |
You're so right. And if you're willing to pay 3000 won a bottle, I'd be more than happy to be your exclusive soju supplier for this business venture. |

| I'd say that Japanese sochu is by far a better product. That's not to say there isn't cr@p Japanese sochu because I have personally had it... Likewise, I have had some pretty good Korean soju as well. |

| My buddy brought back a case of Andong Soju a couple of months ago. It's 80-proff, like vodka, has a slight backtaste of spearmint and a hint of, um, gasoline. Gave one to my boss, and one to the adjoshhi at the corner kage ... holding back a few bottles for other selected pals. Both myself and the bud have looked for it in many places around Seoul, to no avail. |
