I blame archaeology, but I couldn't resist a photo of this variety of wine and beer containers. Its very interesting that Maastricht use to be known exclusively for wine until the Small Ice Age of the 16th century changed the climate and made growing grapes impossible for a while. Today there are many local Limburgish wines, but I most people think of beer (or maybe jenever) first.
