"Slave wine is bitter, intentionally so. Its effects last for more than a Gorean month. I did not wish the females to conceive. A female slave is taken off the slave wine only when it is her master's intention to breed her."

"From a spout on the vessel, grinning, Gorm filled the golden cup. The liquid swirling in the cup was black. ... She looked at the black liquid. 'Drink,' said the Forkbeard. She lifted it to her lips, and tasted it. She closed her eyes and lifted her face. 'It is too bitter,' she wept. ... One by one, the prizes of Ivar Forkbeard, even the rich, proud Aelgifu, were forced to down the slave wine."

" 'Have you had your slave wine?' asked Ina. 'Yes,' I said. This is not really a wine, or an alcoholic beverage. It is called 'slave wine,' I think, for the amusement of the Masters. It is extremely bitter. One draught of the substance is reputed to last until the administration of an appropriate 'releaser.'" "...doses of this foul stuff are usually administered to female slaves at regular intervals, usually once or twice a year." " 'The time to worry,' said Ina, 'is if they decide to make you a breeding slave.' I nodded. 'You must then drink the releaser,' she said. I nodded numbly. 'I have been told it is quite good,' she said." "Slave wine makes sense in a slave-holding culture such as Gor. The breeding of slaves, like any sort of domestic animals, and particularly valuable ones, is carefully controlled. As a slave, of course, I could be bred, or crossed, when, and however, my master might see fit. It is the same as with other animals."
