Do not trust any voyager beer. It would make you sick and not drunk or something, Neelix would be the one to make it remember.

What the gently caress is bloodwine suppose to be made of. Like is it actual blood that is mixed with wine, but then they talk about aging the bloodwine. Humans can drink it perfectly fine and it doesn't kill them.

So a bit of googling and it seems that it should be possible to ferment blood into an alcohol, but you'd probably need to add an anti coagulant so it doesn't clot. Also while blood does have some sugar in it, you'd probably have to add some more. Also it would be super salty and taste metallic.

Maybe out of an animal like a hummingbird which can have extremely high blood sugar level directly after feeding (also Mexican cave fish for some reason).

So in summary just stick with rum.

I thought it was so rude when Sisko and that Admiral didn't at least have a ceremonial drink with Martok in the ruins of Cardassia. Like they all swore on years before!

I get why they didn't for wishy washy Federation reasons, but god drat Martok is your BRO! And you leave him hanging like that? I just can't accept it.

It's never explained in the canon as far as I know. It's supposedly about twice as strong as human spirits which makes me questions whether you can even call it wine, and therefore the accuracy of the name in general. It might be allegorical. If it was named for the color you might expect it to be pink.

The humans standing in a pile of their dead enemies and refusing to drink to the slaughter despite their victory was one of the nice reminders in DS9 that it was still Star Trek and these people were still trying to be better than we are

I also liked that martok just shook his head and muttered to himself about humans not understanding before taking a giant swig from the bottle

I like that moment because it shows how different Federation and Klingon culture is in these moments. Martok is a Warhawk, and it's through victories like this that he keeps the empire safe.

As far as character episodes go Datas episodes are mostly all bangers. I'm rewatching and skipped ahead because I knew Datas Day was coming up. Just a really good episode.

I relate to the Data episodes because they explain human behaviour in easy-to-grasp terms.

Episode idea: a crewmember takes a bet that they can make Data into the most popular one on the ship. I call it "My Fair Data".

Bloodwine is probably made by fermenting the crazy rear end blood of some crazy rear end space monster. It’s not considered “legitimate” Bloodwine unless the guy who brews it hunted down and slayed the beast himself. Trying to farm the space monster instead of hunting it is considered to be without honor, and trying to pass off such illegitimate Bloodwine to guests will result in several vendettas.
