Unusual Wine and Ale - Part

Worm Wine
Yes, this wine is actually
made from worms. These are
parasitic little beasts
that live under the earth
and apparently feed of the
waste products of animals.
They are fat and
| disgusting, yet some
inventive brewer decided to
boil them and use their
pulp in wine. The white
wine produced has a sweet
flavor to it that
contradicts the appearance
of its named ingredient.

Bloodroot Wine
When I first heard about
Bloodroot I must have
displayed my disbelief.
The brewer/adventurer
insisted in showing me how
the lived. This is a
| small, slim, elongated
plant that lives entirely
underground. It moves
through the ground toward
sources of heat. When that
heat source remains in one
place for long enough for
the plant to catch them, it
protrudes from the ground
and, using some sort of
numbing sap, penetrates the
victim's skin without being
|
|
noticed and drains blood
from them to sustain
itself. This is another
that I couldn't bring
myself to drink. They tell
me that it produces a
thick, sweet red wine.

Aldo's Dead Frog Wine
At least the frog is dead.
That was my first thought
when I was shown the latest
of Aldo's creations. Not
only is it unusual to make
wine from a frog, but this
frog is poisonous. They
|
|
tell me that any animal
smaller than a Bazu that
eats the thing will die in
a few hours. I wasn't
planning to drink this
concoction either, but Aldo
insisted. The wine is
green, so defying any real
classification. It is
tangy with a shockingly
good flavor. It's hard to
really call it wine, but
| I'll admit that I keep a
few bottles stocked to show
off for company and for my
own occasional enjoyment.

Of course if you're truly
brave, all of these items
can be found in casks as
well as bottles.
