In a recipe you could get away with a muscat or late harvest riesling. As for the wine itself, there are some domestic alternatives, like Beringer's Nightingale.

This is impossible to answer because it's too subjective. If I could only have one more wine for the rest of my life, it would be Ch. d'Yquem from the Sauternes region of France.

What type of drinks do Hungarians like?

Everything! They have the highest alcohol consumption rate per adult European. They're known for two wines: Egri Bikaver (Bull's Blood, basically swill) and Tokaji. Tokaji is one of the best dessert wines in the world, rivaled, in my opinion, only by Sauternes and German Trockenbierenauslese. It is a botrytised wine, similar to Sauternes, having a similar honey-apricot taste.
