  I wouldn't be surprised if this was the source for the "historic" map, which to my eyes is entirely fictional and full of prejudice. In Lithuania, we historically have a culture of fruit (and berry) wines, but have been lumped into the "vodka belt".

    And beer has historical presence too. Vodka wasn't a big thing till 19th century when Russian empire came.
