Alcoholic beverages within Rhotia are commonly {{wp|mead}}, {{wp|beer}}, and {{wp|vodka}}, with {{wp|wine}} being rarely consumed. By far the most popular of these is {{wp|beer}}, which has experienced a resurgence since the early 2000s due to lower costs and the ease of manufacture. In regards to nonalcoholic beverages, {{wp|tea}} is widely drunk often with a slice of lemon and sweetened with sugar or honey, while drinking with milk is far less common. {{wp|Coffee}}, introduced during the [[Second Great War]] period, is also common. Locally produced {{wp|Kvass|gira}} is consumed in the eastern portions of the country. It is typically made from rye bread, usually known as {{wp|black bread}}, and is not classified as an alcoholic beverage as its alcohol content usually ranges from 0.5-1% or 1-2 proof. Frequently consumed beverages also include {{wp|buttermilk}}, {{wp|kefir}}, {{wp|soured milk}}, {{wp|instant coffee}}, various {{wp|mineral waters}}, {{wp|juices}}, and numerous brands of {{wp|soft drink}}. | Alcoholic beverages within Rhotia are commonly {{wp|mead}}, {{wp|beer}}, and {{wp|vodka}}, with {{wp|wine}} being rarely consumed.

Although a new national identity, Rhotian culture can claim a long, storied history of arts and music. The many different ducal and count courts of the Rhotian-speaking parts of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] provided ample opportunity for court musicians and painters to find employment during the {{wp|Renaissance}}. | Although a new national identity, Rhotian culture can claim a long, storied history of arts and music. The many different ducal and count courts of the Rhotian-speaking parts of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] provided ample opportunity for court musicians and painters to find employment during the {{wp|Renaissance}}, which is where the generally accepted beginnings of Rhotian music are set by many historians. Rhotian music generally describes the history of music written in the Rhotian language. Predating that, around the year 900, the abbey produced the ''Officium Sancti Proctori'' manuscript, one of the first examples of musical notation from [[Dericania]]. Beyond courtly life, public interest in music slowly developed across Rhotia in the 19th century, initially with patriotic music played by military bands of the various principalities. In 1845, the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Imperial]] Army Band known as the Musique militaries imperiale was founded in [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]] with some 24 musicians from the battalion stationed there. In the middle of the 19th century, music and singing societies became increasingly popular. A series of local composers wrote vocal music and light pieces to be performed by the brass bands and choirs which were also emerging everywhere. Interest in patriotic music peaked in the run up to the [[Second Great War]] as the possibility of [[Derian identity|Dericanian national independence]] seemed possible. After the war and in the horrors of the [[Third Fratricide]] patriotic music fell into deep decline, with radio and record imports of popular music forms from both [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]] becoming the most popular genres of music. Foreign music dominated Rhotian-speaking states for most of the rest of the 20th century, with Rhotian-language singers and songs only becoming popular in the late 1980s. Today, foreign music still dominates the radio and internet charts in Rhotia, but "Rhote Music", the genre describing attempts at reviving ethnic Rhotian-language music, is the fastest growing genre in the country. | ||
