Proposal to move to "list of deities of wine and beer"[edit]
The current titles of this list and the associated category "liquor deities" are unsatisfactory, as all or nearly all of the deities concerned were gods or goddesses of wine or beer, not liquor. "Liquor" refers to distilled spirits, which generally postdate classical antiquity, and the worship of these deities. It's not a blanket term for referring to alcoholic beverages. After discussing the name at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome, which concerns a number of the deities in question, this seemed like a more appropriate title. However, it might also be appropriate to split the list into its two main branches: wine gods (or "deities of wine", including rice wine and similar beverages) and beer gods (or "deities of beer"). Alternative names, such as "alcoholic beverage deities" don't seem particularly encyclopedic. P Aculeius (talk) 15:17, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As it's been over a week without any comment or objection, I'm going to go ahead and move this article to the title suggested. P Aculeius (talk) 19:21, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the list includes, for example, a god of sake and a god of rum, as well as gods of alcohol-related concepts (such as “drunkenness” and “tavern-keepers”) that aren’t themselves drinks, would a title like “List of deities associated with alcohol”, or something along those lines, work?
