Wine Varieties

(Needs to be sorted)

  • Green Nogalin - an aphrodisiac, banned on about three-quarters of the Terran worlds[20]
  • Ice wine - "The grapes are left on the vine after they are ripe and allowed to dehydrate somewhat, thereby concentrating the sugars and producing complexities not usually found in traditional wine. After the first frost, they are harvested and pressed while still frozen. Consumed within the year, it is a dessert wine; aging for five to ten years in the barrel will produce a smoother, dryer finish."[19]
  • Jade
  • Autumn Wine - produced on Surebleak in limited quantity, deteriorates rapidly [21]
  • an unidentified wine introduced to Jethri by Master ven'Deelin: "Dry, bitter with tannin, and - just as he was about to ask for water - a surprising and agreeable tang of lemon."[22]
  • Canary[23][24]
  • cha'Ravia - "a spirited wine fit for extremely quiet dinners", reputed to be an aphrodisiac[25]
  • Felinada - one of the premier wines produced by Clan Tarnia[26]
  • Misravon - an Altanian wine, fine but not as fine as Misravot; stored out of the light, at a regulated temperature, when not being served[26]
  • Misravot
    • an Altanian wine, finer than Misravon; stored out of the light, at a regulated temperature, when not being served[26]
    • "Misravot—at least this glass of the same, in lighting adjusted to local seeing and star colors—was pure, unadulterated blue. There were gemstones of the first water that boasted a blue so pure"[26]
    • "smooth in the mouth, and the flavor—as he recalled it—tart, with an overnote of sweet-blooming flowers packing behind it a complex secondary set of notes and flavors."[26]
    • "pale blue"[27][28]
    • with a "burnt cinnamon taste"[27]
    • Daav's preferred wine (although he is not particularly fond of it)[29]
    • He swirled the pale blue liquid in the delicately-stemmed goblet. "Altanian wine—misravot."[30]
  • morning wine[31]
  • Red

    • "Don't never gulp Blusharie, whether it's smooth or whether it's not. If it ain't smooth, gulping it will knock you off your pins so hard you'll think you had a code red collision. If it is smooth, you'll be wasting one of the rare joys of this life and didn't deserve to have it."[35]
    • Genuine Smooth Blusharie comes in a blue bottle, corked and sealed with gold foil, inside a green cloth bag tied with a silver cord. The liquid inside is "gem-colored", with "amber depths". "It all but took his breath, that sip, leaving a smooth tartness on his tongue and tingling at the back of his throat. Fiery and mellow at once"[35]
