A lot of people are recommending very different types of hot sauce. Are you looking for something with a primarily tobasco flavor? Not that I have any recommendations if you do, but it might help focus the suggestions being given.

Red Tabasco doesn't have much flavor (in the hot sauce world). It is pretty much pure heat with slight acidity. The only alternatives that I know are american.
Though because of its simplicity, you could just DIY it with cayenne chili, vinegar, and salt. It is super easy.
Yes, exactly. Itโs Tabasco specifically. I love everything hot sauces and have lots of them. But sometimes, Tabasco scratches a specific itchโฆ
I'm biased, but I prefer Portuguese piri-piri sauce to Tabasco. If you want something fancier I can also recommend Crazy Bastard sauces which are made in Berlin..
CBS are great, love them. Theyโre so fresh abd also great for people who donโt like it too hot.
Buy Mexican. My favorite brand is El Yucateco.
Very hard to find mexican food or products in the Benelux ๐ dutch speaking people are allergic to spice and not having potatoes!
El Yucateco, the best!!
Already in my fridge! Iโm very lucky to have a mexican store in my town!
There's a shit ton of Mexican hot sauces. I like valentina
Valentina is so awesome!!
Anything is better than tabasco.
Thatโs not the point. I have lots of very nice sauces, but sometimes I like Tabasco. I know its just spicy vinegar basically, but hey.
I like OG Tabasco on fish pie and lasagne. Don't know why but none of my other hot sauces sit right with those two meals.
Lasagna for me as well. Just fits perfectly.
Aldi sometimes has organic Tabasco-like red chili sauce produced in Danmark.
I searched on Reddit, via RedReader: /r/buyfromeu/Tabasco
Just a few of the links listed:

Check Paladin. It's portuguese and we know our spicy sauces. The company is family owned and their products are essentially gold standard in Portugal. They mostly export their name brand but supply supermarket chains with store brand products.
Wonderful, thank you for your recommendations!
Pleasure! You've inspired me to change my habits & look beyond Tabasco too.
Try crazy bastard sauces. Theyโre awesome!
In Finland we have โPoppamiesโ, I think they need to expand their presence in Europe.
Iโll check it out! Thanks!
Basque country (on the frontier between France and Spain) has plenty of mild chilly sauces made with the local Espelette chillies. If your looking to go beyond the 1/2 million sco, you might want to try those from the Croatian "I love heat" company, but the mildest ones they make are closer to the Tabasco heat-vinegar combo.
Uhhh my mother is from Croatia!! Iโll check it out, thanks!
Thai sirracha? Make your own chilli oil?
