In Antiquity it was wine made from Malvasian grapes. These days it is
Malmsey or Madeira, fortified dessert wines. I was able to get an
unfortified Malvasian wine from California when I made Welser strawberry
tart, but I haven't seen any since.
Since distillation a growing business when the cookbook was written, it is
possible that the wine was fortified.
