| Wacholder is a German gin, distilled with the juniper essence already added. The word is German for juniper. Wacholder is a speciality of the district of Lippe. It is strong-flavoured owing to its method of distillation, and is traditionally served chilled as a neat shot, with a beer chaser. |
| Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by the fermentation of grapes and grape juice. Wine-like beverages can be produced by the fermentation of other fruits and flowers (fruit or country wines), barley (barley wine), rice (sake), honey (mead), and even herbs (Chinese wine). However, in such cases a qualifier is often legally required (e.g., "elderberry wine"). The English word wine and its equivalents in other languages are protected by law in many jurisdictions. |
