📋 About This Mod

Part of the May Modathon Month

Vintage Morrowind adds 50 new beverages to Morrowind.  I tried to stay lore-friendly with an eye on 'could you really make alcohol with that?'

All the drinks have alchemical properties but I don't really envision most players wanting to actually drink these.  I created this more as a 'collectors mod' for those of use who want to outfit our homes / taverns with a wider selection.

If you use Tooltips Complete, Vintage Morrowind includes custom tooltips for most of the new drinks.  I reference The Lesser House Distillery, which I was going to build but realized I don't (yet) have the skills needed to pull that off.

These are found in crates / containers (added via leveled lists) & to a few vendors.  Some of them are very, very rare.

***********************

TEXTURES & MESHES USED:

Many of the textures come from Morrowind Enhanced Textures, Tamriel_Data, OAAB_Data, & the game itself.  Some of the textures I made entirely by hand using assets that I have been bouncing from hard-drive to hard-drive for nearly 30 years.

The meshes are a mix of Tamriel_data, OAAB_Data, RR Better Meshes, & base-game.

THE FULL LIST OF BEVERAGES

********************

LICHEN BRANDY

I did a deep-dive into what can be used to make various types of alcohol.  In Iceland, they apparently make a brandy using lichen so I ran with it.   The 3 base-game lichens are covered along with 3 from Tamriel_Data / OAAB_Data

IRL:  Lichen brandy is made in Iceland.

********************

FLOWER LIQUEURS

While researching alcohol I learned flowers are often made into liqueurs (not liquors) or added to distilled alcohols like vodka.  They cannot be made, by themselves, into wines (for example) because wine & other fermented beverages require something with a high sugar content.  Flowers can be added for additional flavor later in the wine making process.

IRL:  Heather Cream Liqueur is made in Scotland so in-game it's called the same (guars produce milk so that's my flimsy reasoning).

**********************

MORRETS (MUSHROOM WINE)

I love it when I find something in a game, or mod, that causes me to Google things like "can you make alcohol from mushrooms?"   In the real-world, I couldn't get much of an answer to any specific beverage name / type BUT the 'worldbuilding' subreddit popped up as a top result on Google.  The OP had the same question & on commenter said (paraphrasing):  mushrooms can be made into a wine called morrets with is a dwarven
