«Windsor Tarras.” “Barabar” was a popular imported red wine, now better known by its rightful name, Barbera. It was the specialty of Thomas Tomkins, who sold it at Lloyd's Coffee-House on Lombard Street, as well as an anonymous merchant who sold at the Black Lion and promised a brew “neat, deep, fresh, and strong, no Bar-a-Bar in England so good.” Not all shared his enthusiasm, however:

  • What planet distracts thee, what damnable Star,
  • To dash honest Bourdeaux with vile Barabar?
  • Why shou'd innocent Claret be murder’d by Port?
  • Thou'lt surely be sentenced in Bacchus’ Court.
  • (T. Browne, Works in Prose and Verse 3: 107.)
