Since the early days of Imperial Taldor, Galt's wines had been the envy of the Inner Sea. Wine plays a large part of Galtan culture, but since the Red Revolution began quality has sharply deteriorated. Grapes from 40 vineyards around the countryside would be shipped to Isarn, where the world-class winemakers would vinify the grapes. Though Galt no longer exports it wines, the rough life of the revolution has sharply increased national consumption.
