A description of alcoholic drinks on Almea, including ingredients, locations where popular, and other relevant information.
Wines
Verdurian wine (vin) is classified into the following groups (as opposed to our familiar red/white/rosé):
- uzina - sweet white
- ořpitë - strong white
- řasia - light red (including rosé)
- cleir - medium red
- luyšor - heavy red
Wine was independently invented by the Meťaiun and the Skourenes. The best wine-making regions of Eretald are considered to be Célenor, Curesi, Koto, Zandorini, and Kebri. The coastal regions of Eretald, including Verduria city, are more fond of wine than beer.
Beer
Beer (šerë) is made from fermented barley and flavored with oil from the peza flower. Beer is the staple of the Caďinorian heartland and is often featured in pagan rituals. It can be divided into three types:
- ďula šerë - ale, a creamy, smooth-tasting, honey-colored beer
- flavë šerë - lager, a light (German-style) beer made with less peza
- fužula šerë - bitter, a dark brown (English-style) beer
Other
Also common in Eretald is mead (žöh), made from honey. It's commonly said that people who prefer beer, wine, or mead are strong, smart, or crazy, respectively. Various distilled liquors (kopurulî) are available but expensive.
Still more alcoholic drinks found on Almea include the following:
- In Ereláe
- piru (wheat beer)
- Made from wheat; the most popular drink in Barakhún since barley doesn't grow well in the mountains.
- riŋtuka
- ɔnyo
- bǎusa
- ŋássa
- Fermented from streff.
