And they allow you to get iron by trading dwarves for it. It's a win-win situation.

When it comes to getting seeds from other races, I like elves a little bit because they can get me strawberries. I make sure that all my dwarves can drink strawberry wine. It is a beautiful thing to drink.

I prefer blackberry wine, but yes, the ability to get fruit for booze is very very important.

Depends on the world history.  In my current world dwarves have fought elves off and on for centuries.  They were actually on the losing end until hundreds of human refugees from the elf menace joined the civ. 

So this fort is an elf killing war machine gobbos are just a distraction.  FOR OUR HUMAN KING

Too sweet. My dwarves only drink pinot noir because it is the best wine, if they are running low they will suffer merlot. But wine is so... elven.

I guess you don't want to hear about my dwarves' love affair with Moscato d'Asti then.

have your brewer brew up a nice thick, yeasty stout, and your dwarves will never touch wine again.

Many a dwarf drinking fine wine as hammers fall in the background. Surrounded by masterwork statues of nature/historical figures in a dining hall. It is truly a magical place to be.

Clearly these are city dwarves who have spent too much time with the elves and lost touch with their roots. Wine is nice on a rare occasion, but what dwarf wouldn't prefer a stout or some sort of hard liquor?
