Czech Spirits

Shooters are a serious thing in Czech drinking culture. Should you drink a shot with some-one and match them shot-for-shot all night, you are considered trustworthy and you’ll have a friend for life. That is, of course, providing that they can recognise you the following day.
Czech Wine

When you think about Czech alcohol, the first thing that will spring to mind is the famous beer brewed in parts of the country. What is less known though is the amount of wine that the country produces – a practice that has gone on since the Roman era, proved by the discovery of a vintner’s knife at a Roman camp in southern Moravia. King Charles IV even gave wine making the royal seal of approval in 1358, as he had been educated in France, a country long famed for its wine.
Dining in Prague

The atmosphere in the different restaurants will obviously vary, as will the standard of service. Most waiters will speak at least some English, although the majority of younger waiters will have a good grasp of the English language. It won’t hurt to learn some of the local dialect for yourself though, as this could be very useful when placing orders and will be appreciated by all of the staff.
