Some people have all the luck. OK, they are piss poor and their healthcare sucks, but can you imagine the joy of stepping out of your house and finding a crashed trailer full of booze in the ditch that doubles as your latrine. X-mas, Easter and Liver Transplant Day all came at once in this little village in Moldova.

Jon that's a great share. This day in the village will be spoken of with reverence as when manna fell from heaven for the biblical Isrealites. Viva Moldova!

I love the pic of the guy with the grey hair pounding down some of the high class roadside booze. He can't afford a belt but he knows what to do with a bottle (and as soon as possible). And for the drudgery of his former Soviet bloc existence he is rewarded for one day with libation.
The kids in the picture will no doubt be telling the tale of this blessed day to generations not yet born. The empty bottles will be treasured in every home because they are the most expensive looking thing in every home. They will be handed down to loved ones like a Ming vase. No doubt some villagers will stash this prized piss away - safely hidden under their goat barns - until the wedding days of their daughters who are now just in diapers. I could go on and on...
Thanks for the laugh. I'll drink to that.

I can't find any references to the story online but I'd love to know the name of the booze too. The more expensive it is the better the story gets. And it has the look of very expensive stuff. You know - with the curved bottle and all that. It might well be a brandy. Now how badass would THAT be, eh?
Considering that we are talking about alcohol in the former Soviet bloc (where alcoholism is practically certification of citizenship) it would be reasonable to assume that this stuff is pretty strong. But hey - even if it is only a fancy liqueur and just 20% alcohol instead of 40%+ like vodka there is so damn much of it in the ditch that everyone is getting lit up tonight!
thas an awesome bottle, i want 1... as able asks.. "what kind is it?" help a brutha Noob out here...

Imagine all the grumpy people with hangovers the next week when the booze runs out. I'd sell that hooch.
I'm going to venture a guess that it's absinthe in those bottles. I know I've seen that bottle before at one oddball import liquor store here in town, and any part of eastern Europe would be a prime place for the stuff (have to have something to keep from going crazier than the norm there).
I'd actually guess at Wine or Brandy, Moldova's biggest Alcohol products.
But hey who cares, is there any left??
