...News, would like to see thrown in prison). These are the post-Soviet sybarites who patronize Moscow's Volvo and Mercedes dealerships, pamper themselves with Estee Lauder "exclusive skin-care consultations" and blithely plunk down the equivalent of an average worker's monthly pay for French champagne and Danish liqueur candies at the gilded- mirror displays in Yeliseyevsky Gatronom, the grande dame of Moscow supermarkets...
South African Foreign Minister Roelof ("Pik") Botha dips into his private stock of witblits (white lightning), a fiery homemade liqueur distilled from the berries of the wild marula tree, only on special occasions. So it was a sign of the heady mood in Brazzaville, the capital of Congo, that Botha broke out the good stuff last week.

Even more stunning is its big marbleized chocolate scallop shell that holds nine chocolate praline fruits de mer -- mussels, crayfish and shrimp -- a dessert that delights the eye as much as the palate...
...nothing has gone down quite so smoothly as an improbable hit called DeKuyper's Original Peachtree Schnapps, a liqueur that was introduced in 1984 by New York's National Distillers. The company, suffering from falling sales of its Old Crow and Old Grand-Dad bourbons, was looking for something more up- to-date when one of its researchers came up with the idea while trimming peach trees in his backyard. With almost no advertising, the low-alcohol (48 proof) cordial took off faster than any other liquor in the industry's history, selling almost 1.4 million cases in the first...
