Is there a predominantly Islamic country with a “legal” domestic wine production?

And beer too:

Tiger Beer has many production units in Malaysia.

Biru Bintang is a local Indonesian brand — inherited from the Dutch.

“72 horny virgins?
Loads of alcohol?
dwarves/midgets?
+ Islam?!”

Sounds like The Man Show has been resuscitated and moved to Muslim heaven.

Dag, Snow White only had seven dwarves and these fools want a hundred and then if the dwarves ever put together a union, then it would be hell.

Allah be praised! He has condescended to open the eyes of even this most unworthy one, and show me mine error. My wits must have been befuddled by strong drink, o my brethren:

I pray I may be allowed to serve as a jug-bearing dwarf in Paradise, and to sneak a furtive sip every now and again (if this can be done without the loss of my head).

Maybe it’s 72 dwarf virgins.

Actually, I’m more interested in (as well as startled by) the “jugs of fine wine”. I thought Islamic paradise was full of milk and honey but wine would still be forbidden — but what do I know.

since they are dwarves, are these going to be extra low tables? And are they going to be padded and comfy? Would those tables be better referred to as ‘beds’ ?
