Dorwinion wine must have been good - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Dorwinion could be quite promising for wine-making, some projections put it more-or-less around where the Black Sea is in Europe.

The Bulgarians and Moldovans certainly produce a lot of vino.

Probably full-bodied reds towards the Sea-of-Rhun side, with German-style whites further up the Carnen.

I don't think the climate should be to hot for it to travel, though the madeiras, sherrys and ports were fortified originally to preserve wines on the long sea journeys up to Britain and Northern Europe. These are about 20% so I guess perfect for butler-befuddling!
