Prickle berry wine has always sounded to me like it'd have some sting to it, and not in a pleasant way, like Baffler's idea for whip wine. Like a tongue-stinging, semi-uncomfortable-to-drink wine. Rubbing alcohol-tasting bum wine, but less artificial cough syrup flavor, and more throat burns.
Well, if I were a dwarf, I'd never go for prickle berry wine. At all.

I suspect it would be like raspberry wine, or blackberry wine. Both of those are delicious, and have prickles. Or possibly something to do with prickly pear fruits, which would also be lovely. Prickly pear fruits are worth the prickles.

But if it was "prickly" to the taste, then why not fiery like a chili-flavoured vodka? Why does it have to be predicted to taste foul?

Because it's low value?
