Milk (and honey) provide all essentials to survive. Wine is more for celebrations, although we can't deny its nutritional value. Same goes for beer (by the way, it was essential for survival on Mayflower).

The first symbol of the plenteous horn appeals to me, Thanksgiving- and tradition-wise.
The cornucopia background intrigues me.
Might one expect wine, not milk, to flow from that ancient horn? Or would milk have had special status in the ...
