I consider the Portuguese as quiet.

And why are large parts of Germany and Czechia not beer?

[โ€“] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because this is all complete bullshit.

Because it's a joke and isn't supposed to be scientifically accurate?

A joke has to be somewhat accurate to land or to be funny. Otherwise it's not a joke, it's just "stuff".

There might be a cultural difference what quality standards are expected from a joke here.

I demand scientifically accurate jokes! >:(

At least these few things that are not just "North vs. South" could be a bit more accurate.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

It's not perfectly accurate but the south-west of Germany, especially along the rivers of Rhine and Moselle, is wine country.

Finland also should be beer Europe.

I've seen other maps where the beer, wine, and vodka regions all overlap onto Czechia. While I'd say it's mostly beer here, there's definitely a good amount of wine too. Moravia is a big wine growing region.
