Werberwein

Designation (also advertising wine or advertising drink) for an alcoholic drink such as mostly wine or liquor, which was formerly served by the advertisers as motivation or the newly recruited mercenaries or recruits. Besides the hand money and the entry of the name in the pay list, the drink was the official sign for the service obligation. In the operetta "Der Zigeunerbaron" by Johann Strauß Sohn (1825-1899) the courting song is sung: "Give me your hand, it must be so, let your lover go, drink with us from the wooing wine, come to the hussars. The German poet Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) also wrote about it in his poem "Krieg" (From the Thirty Years' War - Larenopfer): "Let the devil plough fields; see - we have always had enough! Forward - an advertising drink, from the full jugs! See also under .

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
