The Brandywine is a large river that flows through the Shire. It earned its name because during Lotho's short reign he enforced a Middle-earth Prohibition and all the alcohol, which consisted mostly of brandy, was dumped into the river. They say that any Hobbit who drinks of the river may become a bit tipsy to this day.
(Gimli: I'm pretty sure that brandy is a type of wine, but I'm not exactly sure.)

Why did Lotho wish to control the Shire?
