Sayyiduna Safwan bin Muhriz (may Allah have mercy on him) says that he heard Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a sermon, and he (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the wine of the people of Madinah is from fresh dates, the people of Persia make it from grapes, the people of Yemen from honey, and the people of Abyssinia from corn. And Abu Ubayd (may Allah have mercy on him) says that al-fadikh is also a wine, which is made from fresh dates but is not touched by fire.
