Wine

Wine
It’s analgesic. It is anti-microbial, so you treat all your wounds with wine. The tannins and so on in the wine set up a perfect environment for healing wounds

One difference was evident. They preferred wine to the native ale or mead, and much of it was transported from France. A twelfth-century philosopher, Alexander Neckam, states that wine should be clear as the tears of a penitent. He also declared that good wine should be as sweet-tasting as an almond, as surreptitious as a squirrel, as high-spirited as a roebuck, as strong at a Cistercian monastery, as glittering as a spark of fire, as subtle as the logic of the schools of Paris, as delicate as fine silk, and as cold as crystal. The language of the wine connoisseur has not notably diminished in fancifulness over the centuries. ~ Page 395
