We go to Germany because of the pretty landscapes... *looks shifty* We most certainly do no not go there to shop for German beer and red wine, and maybe candy.

For some reason Swedes have come to really like wine a lot. In fact we're now happy that the current trend in climate allows us to once more be able to grow grapes in the southern parts of our country, which has not been possible for thousands of years or something. *likes red wine herself* Though it will allways be snaps that I associate strongest with Sweden, which would give his voice actor a headache should they ever give him a Marukaite Chikyuu :D. Don't know if "burenn-bin" would be that much better though. XD

"Sunapusu" and just as fast as everyone else sing their "wain", "biiru", "koora", e.t.c. ^_^ -_- (And this is the true reason that Sweden doesn't appear in the anime much. :D)
