Dutch taste testing Hokk

Hokk refers to both a wine-like beverage popular in the Quad, and to the grape-like crop used to produce it, which is farmed on Leith.

Like wine, brewed hokk is often aged for years.

Harvesting Hokk[]

Many Westerlyns work as migrant farm workers on Leith, where they are often subjected to harsh working conditions and strict work visas. Migrant farm workers who overstay their visas can be punished with 10 years of hard labour, and some farms use deadly incendiary tracker devices to kill anyone who would attempt to flee, writing off any deaths as work-related accidents.[1]

Trivia[]

The name "Hokk" was created by Aaron Martin, who wrote The Harvest. It is a homage to an old Canadian commercial for a wine called Hochtaler.[5]
