Sometime ago, I had a similar question when the recipe I used for Compost called
for "Greek Wine". The glossary in "Curye on Inglisch" indicated that what was
being called for was a "sweet Italian wine". Bear responded with the following
information:
Try Malvasia (Malmsey). It is specificly mentioned in Sabina Welserin
(1553).
He also indicated that the Marsala I mentioned in a previous message dated to
about 1770 and is a fortified wine!
