Germany takes global lead in consumption of ... ouzo

...recent figures show that the German market now ranks first worldwide in the consumption of ouzo, a quintessentially Grecian clear spirit.

The German market actually absorbs more ouzo than Greece.

Conversely, the spirit's consumption in Greece is sliding... As far as the domestic market is concerned, producers cited repeated hikes in indirect and "sin taxes" in crisis-battered Greece as well as a surge in a clear homemade or bootleg pomace brandy known as "Tsipouro", which is flavored or unflavored depending on the producer and region of the country.
