Cups of Clearwine from Beer With Teeth on the Jonstown Compendium

Clearwine is a white grape. The best Clearwine is prepared as an ice wine, with the grapes collected after the first freeze in Darkness Season. But most Clearwine grapes are made into a rather dry white wine, nearly clear in color (hence the name).

Yeah.  If it got called 'Colours' then we'd have a note explaining that.  We need something thematic to the weavers' community we want, though.  Webs of Clearwine is what we want for the weavers bit, but not for the wine part, and every other title we might produce has a double meaning. It's finger-tappingly frustrating to not have this one match,

And of course, you drink your clearwine out of a wide-bowled drinking cup you pass around. These drinking bowls are often ornately decorated and very valued. And the Orlanthi don't water down their wine. And drink plenty at their festivals. Priests offer praise to the gods, then the bowl is handed around and everyone takes a swig. Repeat again and again. Attendants make sure the bowl is always full. Music is played, there are dancers, while the rest of the folk get drunk. You make sure everyone is entertained, because you have drunk armed Orlanthi who take insults seriously and are notorious for their violent outbursts.

I imagine there are also those wines like a Georgian Amber Wine produced from white grapes in Sartar?

I have a silver wine bowl given to us on our wedding day, by another RQ GM as chance would have it 😉

How many volumes until you will have the WHOLE of Clearwine covored? 😉
 

I'll admit I'd love to cover the entire town. And Boldholme. And Nochet. And Refuge. And.....

I presume the music is played by the Flutes of Clearwine..
