=== Faneria === | |||
Alcohol has a somewhat ritualistic role in Fhainnin culture, being a symbol of health, peace, fertility, and religious sentiment among pagan communities. In antiquity, clans would often mix hallucinogens into their moonshines and hops, viewing alcohol as clearing one's vision and allowing them to see into the future. This practice faded out as Christianity became predominant, but numerous traditional used for alcohol remain. | |||
Alcohol is given as apologies, as a gift of friendship and traditionally to seal contracts, and to mark occasions, to the extent that drinking beer together after making a deal is usually considered binding similarly to a signature if it can be proven. Apologies made with alcohol are typically rated both by quantity and quality; an entire keg of quality scotch would make am appropriate state gift, while in common life those who still practice such rituals typically only purchase pints or bottles depending on context. | |||
Red wine is considered uncouth and has associations with Latin growers, while the country has noteworthy production of hazy beers, white wine, gin, and whiskey. Other drinks are made but not commonly due to growing climate, and Faneria produces a significant plurality of global scotch whiskey. | |||

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. | 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.

Vithjans mostly prefer local liquor, as it is to a large degree cultural to drink the most local liquor available, but the younger generation has started to enjoy some great imported products, mostly from Kiravia. | Vithjans mostly prefer local liquor, as it is to a large degree cultural to drink the most local liquor available, but the younger generation has started to enjoy some great imported products, mostly from Kiravia. | ||

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