More than one gold coin was a lot of money.
Fruit wine in this world was generally inexpensive, and even if it was of the highest quality drunk by nobles, one silver coin could buy two or three large barrels.
The only thing that was more expensive was the elven nectar wine, which was 1.5 times its equivalent weight in gold.
However, not even the elves drank much of this. There wasn't enough to supply the elven royal family and high officials, so it hardly ever flowed to the human world.
The occasional people who drank it were legendary sages and heroes—it was more rumor than fact.
Or, some humans who were quite friendly with the elven higher-ups were occasionally gifted with it.
They hid it for themselves and rarely took it out.
In any case, the elven nectar wine was the true luxury alcoholic beverage.
The fruit wine that humans drank, no matter how good it tasted, was just a normal drink.
