Hello there fellow Tolkienist!

Ever wondered if hobbits drink wine? or maybe you already know the answer and just want to see if there is some stuff about Old Winyards you didn't know?
Whatever brought you here, I hope you like the video and want to support me to make even more lore-videos about middle-earth

Thanks for watching
 
Yes, indeed, Hobbits drank wine. In The Hobbit when Bilbo experiences his “unexpected party,” Gandalf asks for “a little red wine,” and Thorin does, too. Later when he escaped from the Elf-king’s underground palace and found himself soaked in the little riverside village, Bilbo comforted himself with “a leather bottle of wine and a pie that did not belong to him.” And at his parting with the Elf-king, he gave him a strand of pearls in return for having “drunk much of your wine and eaten much of your bread.”

Old Winyards is exactly what it appears to be: wine from an old vineyard: “a strong red wine from the Southfarthing.” (FotR, “A Long-expected Party”)

(I confess that I did not watch the video.)
