Limits of the parallel

[bktheirregular]

In conversation the other day, I noted that apparently in Athens, the equivalent to going to a vending machine for food would be ducking out and grabbing a snack from one of the near-ubiquitous corner kiosks.

When stopping at the kiosk by the hospital across the street from me to get a bottle of Coke, though, I realized that the parallel doesn't quite work.

Unless someone's encountered a vending machine which dispenses three-star brandy?

If you find such a vending machine, let me know the address?

Will do. And if you're in Athens, it's the kiosk at the corner of Gennadiou and Iera Patera, by Evangelismos hospital, and it's three-star Metaxa in small (but not so small as to be airport-sized) bottles. :)
