Quick question about the gifts... When doing Europe I've always kept a few of those small mini bottles of whiskey (Europeans love their booze, especially more towards the east) but to be honest I have no idea about Japanese drinking culture (question to come in another topic).

Where as giving and receiving a bottle of wine when visiting a household or giving these minis to people you meet when moving around is pretty good in Europe would it be 'wrong' or should I say out of place in Japan?

Cheers
Leon
