Wine has traditionally had a more marginal place in the (Great) Kiravian diet compared to whiskey and beer, though its popularity has been steadily growing for decades, especially among the affluent and those in coastal cities. Few parts of the Kiravian Federacy are well-suited to the cultivation of grapes, although a cold-hardy variety introduced by Burgundine immigrants is used to produce table wine in parts of central and southern Great Kirav. Wine is much more popular in Sydona, which alone accounts for over 90% of Kiravian wine production and 45% of Kiravian wine consumption.

Stenzans have been consuming alcohol since ancient times, with tribal hooch and moonshine being very common in pre-colonial Stenza. Daxian colonization brought the mainstream alcohols to Stenza, staying around long after the Daxian left to be enjoyed by all.

Alcoholic beverages have long been a staple of Grusslander identity and culture, with a strong tradition of brewing and fermenting alcoholic beverages dating back millennia. Evidence of beer and wine production has been found at many archaeological sites, where traces of yeast, hops, and wine were extracted from clay pottery and jugs.

Grusslander laws regulating alcohol use and sale are mostly focused on protecting vulnerable groups (such as youths, abuse victims, and addicts) and encourage responsible approaches to alcohol consumption. In private settings there is no drinking age, but parents and guardians are responsible for adverse outcomes for the youth. In public, the drinking ages are staggered: 14 for undistilled (fermented) alcoholic beverages with permission of their Responsible Adult; 16 for for undistilled (fermented) alcoholic beverages without needing permission of their Responsible Adult; and finally 18 for access to any alcoholic beverage.
