<description><p>If you give a Bulgarian man some grapes, he&rsquo;ll want to make wine. After he drinks the wine, he&rsquo;ll want to use the pressed and fermented remains of the grapes to make a traditional brandy called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakia">rakia</a>. This is easily the most famous <em>cliché</em> about Bulgaria, but in my experience it&rsquo;s not that far from the truth.</p>
