Wynrum is a cheap alcoholic beverage known for a robust flavour and a heady kick. The basic half-litre bottle is sold for about Cr5 and is ready after just 48 hours. Fine Wynrum sells at nearer Cr15 per bottle - and the Distilled Wynrum also sells for about Cr15 per bottle, but this has a higher alcohol content and requires aging. The casks needed are the main limitation on the production process for the distilled version.

Wynrum was discovered by a group of Imperial Marines on shore-leave who tried to make their own booze after their battalion had drunk the starport tavern dry. After they left the service, they returned to Wyn and began to make the beverage commercially.

The huge population at Khouth allowed the company to start a small export trade...some of the goods being traded on-route to the Vargr at Fel.

The interstellar trade in Wynrum dried up with the Abandonment of Wyn.
