12	----
13	!!Other tropes associated with Nectar Of The Gods-
14	* TheBartender: Practically every other character in this comic is a bartender, nuff said.
15	* BattleAura: Whenever a character seems to be [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Nectar_of_the_Gods/index.php?p=805917 exerting his or her power]] through sheer willpower or mastery of mixing, they tend to glow with a strangely shaped aura that eminates from their bodies by having so much {{Awesomeness\|IsAForce}}.
16	* BattleInTheRain: Even though it's not a {{Final Battle}}, there's an instance where Joseph attacks Bacchus as he [[GraveMarkingScene visits Rose's grave]], and it happens to be raining.
17	* BerserkButton: Bacchus Exerts this trope when someone insults his dead [[LoveInterests fiancé]]
18	* CookingDuel: Although they haven't been shown as of yet, the comic contains a large series of [[MundaneMadeAwesome Cocktail Battles]]
19	* DevilInPlainSight: Joseph is a seemingly regular person, and extremely charming to the women around him, but when alone with men (especially Bacchus) it turns out he's a real jerk!
20	* AGlassOfChianti: In a comic about liquor, it's to be expected, the {{Bad Boss}} has been seen twice drinking a glass of fine Cider.
21	* AGlassInTheHand: This trope occurs a large number times caused by the [[OneJudgeToRuleThemAll tournament judge]] who crushes all the lesser drinks with his grip that he usually tastes two at a time.
22	* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Bijou, although this is mainly because she {{Cant Hold Her Liquor}}
23	* MundaneMadeAwesome: There's a large amount of mundane actions within the comic (except for maybe the flairtending and a occasional fights) and to make these mundane acts seem epic, the artist uses dramatic lighting for any given 'important' mundane scene, can vary from staring at eachother with rage, to [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Nectar_of_the_Gods/index.php?p=709242 decanting a wine]].
24	* PyroManiac: Enrique is a flairtender, and as his job can generally entail lighting drinks on fire, he has almost a reflex of lighting things on fire automatically, even once lighting an empty bathtub on fire.
25	* SeriousBusiness: Every thing from tasting a wine to pouring a drink, from mixing a martini to slapping a mint is very meaningful to the characters in the comic, they think of bartending as an art form.
26	* TournamentArc: In the comic there's a long tournament with lots of explanations, judgings, new rivalries and where everyone can be a CombatCommentator.
27	* UnusualEyebrows: Bacchus is the strangest example ever seen of this trope, his eyebrows can't be classified within the this tropes subtropes, as his eyebrows just seem to be raised to extraordinary levels.
28	* WineIsClassy: Yup.
