The Museum of Cachaça of Pernambuco State swear to have 7,8 thousand bottles. The curator José Moisés de Moura says he took 20 years to put them together. Some of the our drank authors calculates it would be necessary to take 20 days to finish it all.For the last six years, he keeps a website for the museum, opened since 1998, in Lagoa do Carro (tha car lake), a town 60 km far way from Recife. For the ones who got there, you have to pay 1 real (33 cents) for the ticket.

"Cachaça is also culture" is the slogan of Rio de Janeiro's Museum of Cachaça, the "Muca". Created in 1991, they have the "chambirra" in all its forms. The most impressive, although, are the books – to show the catchphrase is true. Notice that it is impressive because reading after drinking is not easy.
Minas Gerais, the state of cachaça, also have its museum, in Caeté. the 6 thousand bottles, showed near a restaurant, were jointed by a doctor who can not hide his drunk roots. He started the collection inside a bar. One day, he got into one, and saw a whole wall covered by bottles of all collors, shapes and labels. He decided to buy it all. Someone might think that the collection idea was a way to explain to his wife and the neighbourhood that buch of cachaças. Honestly, I don't know.
Virtual "Mé" – to the headached readers who have no strentgh to leave the computer, you may take a look at Cachaça na Net (CnN), that have many labels of cachaças. The most incredible is that the "office" is located in Netherlands. After scaning, the original labels are kept in safe place. The Cultura e conhecimento: cachaça (Culture and knowledge: cachaça) do not explains very clearly what they are. They have label pictures, sambas' lyrics about the "caxaramba" and other stuf.The Cachaça fair and Cachaça.com.br are virtual stores of cachaça. It is not the most cheap prices, but ok. Cachacas.com intents to be a true website about the "chambirra", with news and so on, while Cachaçaria Virtual lists news.
