Mandalorian wine was a type of alcoholic beverage made by members of the Mandalorian culture.[3] Also known as mando papuur'gal in the Mando'a language,[4] Mandalorian wine was created from a combination of fruit and wild rice. The drink was typically very strong, with a slightly bitter taste, and possessed a deep red coloration.[1]
Mandalorian wine gained a notable increase in popularity in the years following the end of the Mandalorian Wars. By the time of the Galactic Empire's reign, Mandalorian wine was often kept corked in a glass decanter prior to consumption.[1] An individual who had become intoxicated from Mandalorian wine was commonly known to move with a stumbling gait.[3]
Behind the scenes
Mandalorian wine first appeared in Star Wars canon in the MMORPG, Star Wars Galaxies, released June 26, 2003. The drink was later mentioned in the 2009 novel, Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil, by author Drew Karpyshyn.
