Must is unfermented fruit (usually grape) juice. Very often, for cooking
purposes, it's concentrated by boiling... so you could kind of call it a
sugar. It's kind of like a fruit syrup at that stage. I've found grape
"molasses" in the local Middle Eastern grocery, so I assume it's still an
ingredient in cooking there.

Honey isn't usually an ingredient in must... but it's of course a sweetener
in it's own right. I assume you'd mix the two to make a pyment? By this I
mean a fermented fruit (usually grape) mead like beverage.

My communication skills aren't what they usually are, some planets in my
chart are twonky... so if I'm unclear, or wrong, let me know.
