Bajoran springwine

Springwine was a Bajoran beverage made from fermented kava juice. It had been made by the Bajorans for centuries, and was mentioned by Horran in his Seventh Prophecy. (DS9: "Ferengi Love Songs")

Springwine was sold at Quark's on Deep Space 9, and Kira Nerys had a penchant for it.

In 2372, Gul Dukat shared his last bottle of springwine with Kira Nerys while having dinner aboard his ship, the Groumall, noting that it was one of the things he missed most about Bajor. (DS9: "Return to Grace")

In 2375, Kai Winn Adami opened a rare vintage of springwine from before the Occupation that she was originally going to give to the Emissary as a wedding gift. She shared it with Anjohl Tennan, stating that she doubted the Emissary would have appreciated it as much because he was not Bajoran. (DS9: "'Til Death Do Us Part")

In the scripts, the two-word spelling "spring wine" was used interchangably with the one-word "springwine".

In "Return to Grace", springwine appeared light red. In "'Til Death Do Us Part" it was white. Finally, in "Strange Bedfellows", it was blue. As with Earth wine and Gamzian wine, there were likely different varities of Bajoran springwine.
