<<< Unfortunately no one has done a CA on wine...if anyone would like to, I'd
certainly consider publishing it!!  And it's a great topic.  Maybe Stefan
has something in his "Flory-thingey."

There are many, many books on wine. The thought of trying to do a Compleat Anachronist on the subject is staggering.

And CAs tend to be much more complete than what I have in the Florilegium, except for copies of at least one CA. :-)

Here is what I do have in the Florilegium. Most of what I have on the types of wine is in the wine-msg file but it is hardly comprehensive, but hopefully it does give some ideas about wines and how they were thought of. These are in the BEVERAGES section.

Okay, more on modern than period usage, but this list was the first I ever heard of this, so I thought some folks might be interested.
