All three drinks have their roots in Spain, with brandy being produced throughout the country, anis particularly popular in Catalonia, and pacharán originating in Navarre and the Basque Country.

With a wine-making tradition spanning more than 2000 years and with more vineyard acreage than any other country in the world, Spain is producing wines of increasingly good quality. Wine in Andalucia is produced in four "Denominación de Origen" areas. Beer (cerveza) is enormously popular in Spain, which is in fact one of Europe's major producers of lager.
