new new zealand, this & that

I finished This & That in miNiZ126 by saying:
“Unfortunately I have no new New Zealand bottles to show you this time, so that’s about it for now.
Except to say that many of you will be stuck at home with time on your hands so
it’s time to get the camera out, photograph some of your bottles, and write an
article or better still, articles. I’m looking forward to miNiZ127 being a bumper
edition.” I was right to add the flying pig as there has been a VERY poor response.
Shame on those who have been in lockdown and have not contributed – you know who you are.

Hopefully none of you have had to call the doctor. Our cover shows a Macallan 12yo single malt
bottled by World of Fine & Rare of Germany. This is available at the eBay store of Whisky-Spirit-
Merchants https://www.ebay.de/str/whisky-and-spirits?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 The Presidents (see
article) come from the same source but sadly most are no longer for sale.

Some of you will
certainly have been and
may still be depressed.
The second cover
image is an old French
Alcotricine set of 10
vials. The cover claims
“The 5 Cures Against
Depression.” I doubt
that they could claim
that today but, hey,
worth a try. Having said
that, the Scots seem to
get away with it….

Pictured are a couple of
Doctors (Hoffman &
Niccolo) and a Nurse
(Garnier). Above all
avoid intensive care
and the operating theatre (Rutherford).

On a lighter note, I came across
the flask on the left on a web site.
It is from Danic of Croatia and, in
case you cannot read it, it says
“Drink For Good Sex.” Hopefully
the fish is not a piranha!
