Tate Merlot

“You want the best? You drink Tate. Could it be any simpler?”

― Dan Tate, proprietor; Tate Wineries

Tate Merlot is one of several brands of consumable alcohol in Rapture, but appears only in BioShock 2. Tate Wineries may be a rival of Worley Winery, the producers of Arcadia Merlot which appeared in BioShock. Consuming several bottles of this beverage will result in a brief period of blurry double-vision, as Delta's body recovers from intoxication.

Uses

• Consuming Tate Merlot will result in a small increase in Health, but a small decrease in EVE.
• Equipping the Booze Hound Gene Tonic will instead result in gaining EVE when drinking Tate Merlot.
• Like other alcoholic beverages, Tate Merlot can be ignited using Incinerate! to create a Molotov Cocktail, thrown with Telekinesis.

“	A bottle of Merlot will restore a small amount of Health, but drain a small amount of EVE. Like all food and drink, it is consumed immediately when picked up.	”
