Roman Wine


Gaius Octavius

Recommended Posts

In the 1940's and 1950's there was a cough medicine (in the U.S.) called chericol (?). It was cherry flavored and contained codene. Tasted good and worked. Perhaps, its formulation might be of help in your quest. A cursory search on the web produced nothing of value - but then that is for me.

Thank you, this sort of snippet is always useful and amusing. Codeine (from Papaver somniferum) would be a legitimate throwback to Roman usage as a mild narcotic/analgesic .I dont think my botanical preparations will include experimentation with the unripe fruit of the poppy though, despite its legitimate use by our glorious ancestors.

 

Im shortly going to edit this thread and move the "medicinal wine " posts into the Narcotic or medicines thread, but I shall wait a little while to see if other members have anything to add to the "possible flavours" of the base wine that AD has usefully suggested.
