The Bacchus Wine in Final Fantasy IV.
A mystical draught said to spout forth endlessly from an enchanted fount. Only consumable by knowledgeable salve-makers, it brings out the latent powers of the drinker, allowing them to exceed their normal physical capacities. As a side-effect, however, it induces obliviousness to one's surroundings and a loss of control, as if the imbiber were in a severe state of inebriation.
Bacchus's Wine (バッカスの酒, Bakkasu no Sake?), also known as Bacchus's Cider, is a recurring supportive item in the Final Fantasy series. It gives the user a status, usually Berserk.

Bacchus's wine is a legendary wine relevant to the quest "It Won't Work" at Wineport and a few quests thereafter. It is made from Bacchus Grapes, a hybrid of various grape species.

Having been struck blind in a battle with Titan, Shamani Lohmani found renewed purpose upon tasting the wine, and now devotes his life to wine making.

We defeated them and their leader Lilith, ensuring that Ivalicians could again partake in Bacchus's blessing.

Etymology Edit
Bacchus (also known as "Dionysus") is the Greco-Roman God of wine, vineyards, theater, and insanity. His worshipers would become intoxicated and go off on wild, crazed orgies of revelry.
In Japanese the item is called Bacchus's Sake. Sake is an alcoholic beverage of Japanese origin that is made from fermented rice, and is sometimes referred to as as a form of rice wine by English-speaking countries, although technically sake is closer to beer than wine.
