I'm quite a fan of Cabernet Franc. In a way, it kinda smells like farts, but once you have a few it is actually very nice. For beers, I myself enjoy Kilkenny quite a lot. If you ever visit New Zealand though, I would strongly recommend the Monteith's range as well as the Green Man range (the latter is organic). They are absolutely b-e-a-utiful!
As for hard stuff, if you enjoy scotch, I'd recommend Johnnie Walker (cause everyone knows about it) or Crown Royal.
If really want hard stuff and know how to drink it, 60%-75% Absinthe (no stronger). You'll burn your throat and possibly give yourself oral cancer if you drink it neat, so I suggest drinking it the proper way with water and sugar cube (the alcohol content should get below 50%).
