chained_bear commented on the word spiced wine
"Spiced wines were a common feature of the medieval wedding, and it is a reasonable surmise that there was more to the combination of nuptials, wine, and spice than the desire to celebrate in style. Spiced wine, or piment, was, according to the hymnographer Marbode de Rennes (1035-1123), the voluptuary's drink of choice."
--Jack Turner, _Spice: The History of a Temptation_ (NY: Alfred A. Knopf, 2004), 188
