A somewhat commonly unrealized aspect about BO codenames is that there is somewhat of a distinction between male and female names Gosho has used for BO agents so far. That is: Females are commonly named after wine or wine-related drinks: Vermouth, Kir, Chianti, Sherry. Males names are distilled beverages/hard liquors: Gin, Vodka, Tequila, Korn, Rye (whiskey), Bourbon (whiskey), Pisco (pomace brandy), Irish (whiskey), Calvados (brandy) This convenient wikipedia page has a list of alcoholic beverages. It even divides in into Fermented drinks (which includes wines) and distilled beverages/liquors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_alcoholic_beveragesWine cocktails (like Kir) for female names: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_cocktailThis is a great source for anyone writing a story with an OC Black Organization agent(s) and needs a good name for their character(s).

I wonder if we're ever going to get an Everclear operative.
Maybe that's the leader's true name.

Ah, that's the sort of list that I'm going to find very useful. I'm always amazed by just how many different types of alcohol there are.

As I look through the "distilled beverages" section . . . Hey, I know Baijiu I think. Wasn't that the kind that Heiji gave Conan? . . . Gin! Pisco! Rum, Tequila! Vodka! Bourbon-Irish-Rye-Scotch!!! Hm, I wonder if there's Irish for Irish Whiskey, will there be someone with the codename of Japanese for Japanese Whiskey?

That's amazing! Thank you very much! *looks for Syrah but finds Chianti instead. Then finds Syrah* Syrah was a codename that I was going to put in my fanfiction, but decided not to cuz of Black Org gender rules. That said . . . Isn't "Snake wine" still a wine and goes against those rules?
*proceeds to go through every single name* *finds a bunch of different "noir"s and thinks of Chat Noir*
*covers mouth with hand* OHHHHHH!!! Oh, that would've made Jodie SO much more suspicious during the Vermouth arc if I had known about that . . . Jodie's alias, Saintemillion? Red --> Herbal Dry Red --> Black Pepper Gravel --> Soft --> Saint-Émilion? Did anyone else notice that or is it just me and my lack of knowledge of alcohols?
Starlight, were you able to find Vermouth? I couldn't find Vermouth.

Ohhh you're right. I didn't know at all that Jodie's last name was a name of an alcholic drink. I found a wine that could be Vermouth but it isn't written how we're used to it so here is it. White --> Dry White --> White Grapefruit Floral. Kinda ironic isn't it. Vermouth being a white wine in a black organization.

Yeah, I don't think Kir's there either . . . People. I have a feeling I'll be having a hard time not capitalizing these alcoholic drinks . . .

Vermouth encompasses a large number of brands, and hence may not be listed (As it can be Red/White/Rose, and of varying flavours). I very much doubt there is one full list of wines.
Kir's probably not listed as it's a Cocktail, and hence not a pure drink of wine. Still, this makes for a very useful list of references.

About Kir being a cocktail and not a pure drink of wine... If we think about the symbolism in DC, it may be related to the fact she is not a pure member. Despite being one of them, she isn´t.
The same can be said about Vermouth, since it´s a drink that is capable of shifting. We all know Vermouth is not constant, her loyalty shifting in accordance to the situation she finds herself in. It also may be related to her ability to become anyone, therefore not having a constant identity. We know her as Vermouth, Sharon and Chris, and yet we cannot say which one is her true self.
