Mario, vale a pena ler alguns dos links postados sobre as 'bebidas secas' em Mocambique e ver que para alem do tetra pack elas sao vendidas em outras embalagens, ateh pode ser que na maioria em tetra pack, mas a ideia na frase da asker eh o que sao bebidas secas, e isso sao spirits/hard liquor/bebidas destiladas, e o facto que este tipo de bebida alcoolica esta a ser adulterada. Bebidas alcoolicas em tetra pack ja se vendem em todo o lado do mundo, geralmente nao sao de boa qualidade, e pelos vistos agora adulteradas, ou seja, fazem misturas e vendem gato por lebre:)
Mario Freitas Feb 24, 2014:
Tetra Pack These beverages are sold in Tetra Pack. That's the name of that kind of package.
Muriel Vasconcellos Feb 24, 2014:
Your link specifically refers to a combo of vodka and fruit juice sold in juice boxes, as referenced in one of my examples. Whether or not that's the translation of "bebida seca" is another story.

Here is California they routinely sell wine in boxes.

Lexis. trata-se de liquor/hard liquor, mas pode meter alcoholic drinks...tudo que sao bebidas alcoholicas destiladas, que nao inclui nem o vinho nem a cerveja, em todo o lado ja nao sao apenas vendidas em garrafas de vidro, mas em varios outros tipos de de embalagem como a tetra pack que se ve na sua foto. Claro eh bebida alcoolica barata (cheap alcohol)

Não acho que tenha que ver com se a bebida é seca ou não, como um vinho seco ou um vinho doce. A pista está no artigo citado. Trata-se de alguma categoria de licores

dry drink/liquor/spirits/beverage

Dryness is a property of alcoholic beverages that describes the lack of a sweet taste. This may be due to a lack of sugars, the presence of some other taste that masks sweetness, or an underabundance of simple carbohydrates that can be converted to sugar by enzymes in the mouth (amylase in particular). The term "dry" may be applied to types of beer, wine, distilled spirits, or any other form of alcoholic beverage.

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinho_seco

Vinho seco é uma classificação de vinho aplicado às bebidas que possuem até 5 gramas de açúcar por litro. Um vinho seco pode ser tanto tinto, quanto branco.

O vinho seco é apreciado por consumir praticamente todo o açúcar da uva durante o processo da fermentação. Isso mantem as caracteriscas do vinho e da uva utilizada na produção.

Deve ser facil de falsificar/adulterar este tipo de bebidas que parece estarem a ser uma tragedia em Mocambique, vendidas em todo o lado, misturas de bebidas destiladas, algumas ate ja de fabrico caseiro.

Estou referindo das bebidas secas (espirituosas), conhecidas, na Cidade da Beira, vulgarmente por “tchacutchena”, são de marcas variadas, mas todas compartilham algumas características em comum: o tamanho do recipiente e o preço.

While i dont get my red wine, TASMAC sells cheap adulterated hard liquor at cheaper prices in a smelly dirty counter with a dirtier bar next door. It is indeed a deterant for the social/health wine drinker. However it opens the door for the alcoholic. When something is made so ugly it attracts and creates riff raff.

Se for voltado para o público dos EUA, pode ser então moonshine spirits, mas spirits they are independentemente de embalagem.
