Originally taken from the "Scrolls of Lankhmar" blog, now apparently defunct. Feel free to add to this list and I can update this post to make it more accurate.
You can’t have stories about down-to-earth heroes who enjoy the various pleasures in life without mentioning the imbibing of alcohol, and indeed you’ll never have trouble finding a tavern in Lankhmar. Here are some of the alcohols mentioned in the stories, and a good chance to add more color to your game.
• We first hear about white snow potato brandy of Fafhrd’s snow-clan. It is apparently a heady drink.
• There is the bubbly wine of Ilthmar which is mentioned in at least a couple of stories.
• We find out in the Cloud of Hate that the strong wine of Tovilyis has a high sugar content.
• The wine of Quarmall is mentioned a couple of times, and in one reference it is said that the mushroom wine of Quarmall fosters visions.
• We also learn about the light wine of Ilthmar. Presumably this is a different offering than their bubbly wine.
