The Brewers Guild and the Vintners Guild are both officially sanctioned guilds that specialize in both beer and wine respectively.

Saint Seryn the Merciful is the Dunmeri patron saint of brewers and distillers.[3]
The ancient Khajiiti kingdom of Meirvale in central Elsweyr was noted for its breweries and distilleries.[4] Those that remained after the kingdom's downfall now live in the Stitches and are known for drowning their sorrow in drink.[5]
The Argonians' natural resistance to poison also makes them resistant to the effects of alcohol, needing more cups than other races for the effects to kick in.[6]
It is believed that certain cultures on Nirn make alcoholic products from cacti.[UOL 1]

To make it one must stretch seventeen strings of Alfiq-gut over each barrel, then fresh boar meat is pressed onto the strings, with the brewer being careful not to let any fall before it has properly rotted. Then the meat is dusted with the finely chopped skins of the red-striped frog to make sure the crosswings are drunk and happy when they fall. This is done every month for three or more years, until there is enough meat and bugs to fill the barrel.
Enchantments and spells are used in the process as well to attract the crosswings and mimics, to keep out the flipbacks, tree-hoppers, and hoarvor young, and to encourage green mold and prevent brown and white mold.[UOL 2]

Strain the whey into a separate vessel, keeping the curds in their pans. Break the curds apart with a spoon, then allow the curds to dry into shards. Stir daily to keep them from spoiling. Once dry, use these shards to thicken skimmed pig's milk, or to add more cream to plain pig's milk. Bottle and let ferment for 3 weeks.

In the Fourth Era, production of Black-Briar Mead resumed in Skyrim when the Black-Briar family of Riften attempted to gain a foothold in the mead industry. Its major competitor was Honningbrew Mead, although by 4E 201 Honningbrew had been eliminated and Black-Briar obtained a monopoly on production.[43] Black-Briar Reserve is a higher quality, more expensive, and more potent mead, although the brewery has been known to simply fill the bottles with regular mead.

It was made by an expert alchemist that was also a vintner, when the ruined forts throughout the province were still active. The magic imbued in the wine gifted the drinkers with night eye, for late-night surveillance on cold nights.[81] In 2E 582, the Shadowbanish Vintners held underground wine-tasting parties to sell their product to wealthy buyers tax-free.[82][83] Shadowbanish Wine was exceedingly expensive at the time due to the cost of exporting the product from a war-torn Cyrodiil.[84] In 3E 433, a wine collector from Weye tasked an adventurer to find the last of the wine in various ruins throughout Cyrodiil. These locations span across the province, from Fort Grief to Fort Vlastarus. Eventually, six bottles of Shadowbanish Wine were recovered and added to the wine collector's collection.[85]
