"Snorri Sturluson in the Gylfaginning indicates that it is to these wolves that Odin gives his food when in Valhalla, for he has no need of it himself, subsisting solely on mead."

A small inconsistency here. In the article about Odin it says that He drinks nothing but wine, not mead. Anyone know which one is true?

The correct word is wine. In the original manuscripts of Gylfaginning where these wolves are mentioned, the relevant term is "vín" (wine) as opposed to "mjöð" (mead). Cerdic 12:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
