Noah's wine

A depiction from the Holkham Bible c. 1320 AD showing Noah and his sons making wine

Noah's wine is a colloquial allusion meaning alcoholic beverages.[1] The advent of this type of beverage and the discovery of fermentation are traditionally attributed, by explication from biblical sources, to Noah. The phrase has been used in both fictional and nonfictional literature.
