[Rabelais]

I'm sure you mean published D&D..

In our FR campaign we had a super-luxury wine that is found in all the best Dragon hoards, BBEG lairs, purveyors to the King

Chateau du Brise-Crete, purveyors of wine to the Royal Family of Cormyr.

Several GP per glass, a good way to seperate players from their ill gotten gains.

 

[Shemeska]

As I recall there was also Baatorian Firewine, and a specific type of wine made in Plague-Mort. I'd have to look up where they first were mentioned in which books though.

Beyond those, I've made a number of recipies for various planar concoctions in my own game.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Great idea for a list!

 

[frankthedm]

Rahasia had some magical wines from "The wizard of wines winery" in it IIRC. The B1 to B9 book even had the labels in the book as handouts IIRC.

 

[sckeener]

Here's what I have so far (see spreadsheet)

 

[Torm]

In a game I ran not too long ago, I had a character ask a barkeep for "the strongest drink he has", which resulted in a metal tumbler being produced and a concoction being mixed that had (from what the players could tell) some sort of acid that a drip ate through part of the countertop, some sort of milky looking substance, and a bubbling red fluid. It was called Rattlebrew (possibly from the rattlesnake venom, possibly for the death rattle it frequenly produced), and drinking it resulted in an immediate call for a Fort save vs. death. The only mechanical benefit to drinking it was that, if you made the save, you could drink it from then on without having to make another save. (And in game, the bar would make you another whenever you asked for no charge - in which case, the charge was all really front loaded, because the barkeep charged enough for the first one to cover your potential funerary arrangements.) The player made it, but barely. STILL ended up REALLY drunk.

Shortly after that, in another inn, one of the other characters asked for "the SECOND strongest drink you have", which resulted in him being brought a kahlua-like beverage with a strong bite of mint and alcohol to it. He failed the save, and ended up drunk, with a temporarily lower Int and Wis, but temporarily higher Dex, and a Will save penalty on top. Oh, and a wife. Boy, was he surprised.

[Ed_Laprade]

Where are the old standby's: Dwarven ale and Elven mead? (And Dwarven Ripple was a favorite 'round these parts for a long time.)

 

[the Jester]

Alas, someone beat me to this one (from my favorite menu in dnd history):

The Inn of the Welcome Wench in Hommlett used to serve:

Keoish Golden Wine
Sundish Lilac Wine
Urnst White Wine
Celene Ruby Wine
Furyondian Emerald Pale Wine
Velunan Fireamber Wine
Keoish Brandy
Urnst Special Aged Brandy
Ulek Elixir Liqueur

among other things.

I can also point you to this entry on alcohol in my campaign setting's Wiki. It's all homebrewed stuff, but you might find the discussion interesting.

Beer, wine, brandy, spirits- the types of alcohol available on Cydra are many and various. Several halfling clans, such as the Barleybrews, specialize in brewing beer. Others focus on vinting wine, though everyone knows that the elves are the true masters of wine. Stranger things exist, too- things like tiley, a liquor distilled from the heart's blood of a red dragon, which is not quite strictly alcoholic in nature.

Amongst the strange or noteworthy brews available on Cydra are the following:

Grand mead- This mead is made from the honey of giant bees. Collecting it can be quite the adventure in and of itself!

Choboy mead- This mead is brewed by the halflings in Shire Role, in the Glen Lands (on Valonia). It is reputed to be the very best mead of all- lip-smacking good, with enough herbs and spices to make it distinctive and unique.

Fey wine- Often strange looking or sporting an odd aroma, the wine of the fey folk is nothing to be drank lightly. Fey wine is often (but not always) more than merely alcoholic, and sometimes eating or drinking of the fey lands has serious consequences, especially if one is within Faerieland at the time.

Saint Joram's- St. Joram was a hero of the Church of the Light about 1,000 years before game present. After a long, successful career smiting the forces of chaos, he retired to a monastery and turned his considerable holy powers towards perfecting the art of beermaking. St. Joram's is a monastery on Forinthia, where to this day the monks continue the brewing tradition that St. Joram started. The beer they make is widely considered to be very good, though in St. Joram's time it was said to be the very best beer extant.
