=VICTORIAN AGE LIQUORS = //"just what is Absinth? Or Ratafia// //or Nergus////, or Madeira////, or Port////?//" Behind alcoholic beverages there are long stories, starting from the origins and coming up today. In Victorian ages there was a significant use of different liquor, depending on social classes, sexes and situations. Besides usual liquor, such as Gin, Whisky and Absinth, the Victorians widely drank heavy wines like Port and Claret, considered too strong for ladies, who were more likely drinking delicate and sweet aromatic drink or liquor (cordials). At last “restoratives”, taken by diluting several drops in a glass of water, were used as digestives and so on.
