chained_bear commented on the word gariofilatum
"Writing of the popular clove-flavored wine known as gariofilatum, John of Trevisa summarized the attractions of the spices: 'The virtue of the spices and herbs changes and amends the wine, imparting thereto a singular virtue, rendering it both healthy and pleasant at the same time ... for the virtue of the spices preserves and keeps wines that would otherwise soon go off.'"
--Jack Turner, _Spice: The History of a Temptation_ (NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2004), 116
