[Sca-cooks] Alcohol in Islamic countries

[Jim and Andi Houston]

Eastern Muslims were the most liberal, wine drinking was socially accepted
in many circles among Persian and Indian Muslims. If you read the early 16th
century Baburnama, the autobiography of the first of the Mughal Dynasty, he
goes into great detail about his drinking parties and where one can find the
best wine in Central Asia.

I know they also distilled as well. Many of those references are based on
cosmetics and perfumes.
