It has been put to us in CAID that Lady SoandSo can not present an alcoholic
beverage to Lord or King SO in any even vaguely official manner.   But if
sounds wish to share with SO a bottle as friends, not a problem.

Serving any acoholic beverage as the SCA at an official SCA event is right
out.

If you wish to share you latest recipe with friends OK as part of a official
publication, unless it is part of a research project or the redaction of a
period recipe and the original is included, no way.

The rule were published in the local newsletter and stated very clearly.  If
I can find it and get the permission of the author I will post to this list.
