Vulcan port

Vulcan port

Vulcan port was an alcoholic beverage produced on Vulcan, having a characteristic indigo blue color (reminiscent of Romulan ale).

In 2370, Quark had a particularly dusty bottle of Vulcan port amongst his personal stock, which was regarded as being considerably expensive and very rare given that the wine was produced around the 2060s if not earlier perchance. From this bottle he poured Sakonna a glass, to which she declined. Quark thereafter found the taste disagreeable upon sampling it for himself. (DS9: "The Maquis, Part I")

Background

The existence of a Vulcan alcoholic drink would seem most curiously to contradict a previous statement set forth by Spock in TOS: "The Conscience of the King", where he notes: "My father's race was spared the dubious benefits of alcohol," when offered a glass of Saurian brandy by Dr. McCoy. Preceding this remark, T'Pol specifically states in ENT: "Breaking the Ice" that Vulcans do not drink wine, perhaps indicating that Vulcan port is chiefly reserved for ceremonial or religious rites.
