Like, my servants have started bringing the lead shavings when I ask for the wine. I know I shouldn’t overindulge, but I just can’t get the wine down without it.
Egyptian here, why not just add dates and honey, like civilized people?
Honey, sure. However have you tried getting dates in this market? Sheer madness! If the market were sane we would not be having this discussion.
Lead, being both hot and dry in its nature, is an excellent additive for wine, which is cool and wet. You have to balance your humours, or sickness will surely take you.
I too love the flavor of my wine exclusively with lead but recently the morning after headaches have been getting quite intense and I have awoken with a tingling sensation in my extremities.
Must be old age. I, too, began to fall apart at the ripe old age of 25. I find a little light ‘wrestling’ with one of the serving boys clears it right up.
