Actually, the Good Folk where renowned in all of Europe for their love of drinks; the time and effort needed was deemed more of an interesting subject, and there is little shame in such pursuits: to take something wild and untamed and make something cultured (not civilised - it's not the same thing) but still wild and untamed (as most faery drinks happen to be; and far more potent than your average moonshine ), that is a true goal of mastery!

Unlike what most people think of the Sidhelien, they should look at the Dockalfar and the Sidhe of myth: majestic people, one with the world of land and spirit alike, but not teatering dolts that would do nothing if nature did not provide for it...

The Sidhelien are creatures of majesty, and that means that they have their own music, as we all know, haunting and honed to such perfection that any other will always remember it, even if not able to reproduce it, with uncanny clarity - and so it also is with their foodstuffs, their garments and raiments, their halls and tapestries, their woodwork (for their is some coaxing into giving living wood shape without destroying the tree - or taking only what is needed with proper respect), and, amongst these and many more, their drinks and beverages.


As for cider, it's an excellent drink. Also note that fruit-brandies, most particularly and most commonly made from berries of various kinds, should be held in very high regard. Whiskeys and vodkas should also be around too, yes. Any distillant should be included, if possible.
