*I seem to recall Francesco Sirene, Spicer (who sells mail-order spices,
*etc.[long pepper by the half-kilo!!!] having some of these for sake for
*a somewhat more reasonable price. Probably not 200 years old, though.

*Adamantius

Sake? I thought sake was brewed from rice, a rice wine?  :-)

In the later portion of the Middle Ages, Europeans grew rice. Was it
turned into an alcoholic beverage? Would this be a beer? Why is sake
called a rice wine and not a rice beer? Or do I have this wrong in the
first place?

Can you ferment tea into an alcoholic beverage?

(Strange? No fermenting mare’s milk is strange. Or resourceful depending
on where you happen to be.)
