I beg to differ.  I've finally tracked down the quote
(see, I *knew* I wasn't going crazy!) to page 197 of
my ACE paperback copy of Yendi, where Vlad comments:
"I helped myself to a large glass of brandy, which I
despise, but it's stronger than wine..."  I would say
that's a pretty strong indication that he doesn't like
the stuff.
