- Ruby-red liqueur from green stone-pine cones picked in July at 1,500m+ — the smell is the Alps in a bottle
- Checked bag only; US allows 1L duty-free, India 2L
- Same stone-pine (Zirbe) wood makes the famous sleep-well pillows and bread boxes — a good non-alcoholic alternative from the same shops
