Raki

On one of our car trips to Nafplio we had time to stop at our favourite small taverna 'Rakomel', home of Raki, with excellent and authentic greek mezethes at a low price and good wine, ouzo or raki.

This is a sign inside the shop

Translation

Drink a glass of raki (grappa, pastis, ouzo, sambucca, arak )

The First glass gives you an appetite

The Second, health

A third, happiness

Fourth, success

A Fifth glass brings conversation

A Sixth verbosity

A seventh ends in a scuffle

The eighth glass brings the Police

The ninth glass a Judge

And the tenth a funeral.....

So we kept away from the raki and drank a half litre of wine

with a plate of black-eye peas dressed with vinegar, olive oil, and lots of onion and parsley (no garlic?)

Greek barrel wine is ordered by the kilo but it comes in a litre jug.

So I googled

Litres and kilograms are more or less equivalent when the substance measured is water, or in this case, wine.
