I could totally see this in a cyberpunk tabletop RPG, an alcohol of the future underclass.
I think it's Fallen London/Sunless Sea that has mushroom wine as the cheapest form of alcohol?
It's just the main form of alcohol since grapes don't grow undergrad. Some of the finer vintages are quite expensive indeed
Dwarf fortress has plump helmet wine as easy alcohol.
The Metro series has mushroom vodka as well
Nah it doesn't make sense. IIRC whisky uses very little water, so they'd probably be making that. Mushrooms don't have sugar for fermentation, so you'd just be adding it for flavor. And why would you do that??
unless you bred them to produce sugar!!
I was thinking about it more as a world-building detail in an RPG, rather than as a practical real-world product. Sort of like an alcohol equivalent to Shadowrun's "soykaf", a coffee substitute made from soybeans.
