      So like “fire wine” or “angel wine” or what ever. Like a lot of fantasy settings will have a drink that’s wine, but they specify it as a special kind of wine that’s not actually wine or made by mystical elves on a mountain.

      But like in a lot of sci-fi settings there will be some fictional future drug. And it’s be called something like “hack”, “boil” or “shock” or something. Hence snorting verbs and drinking noun wine.
