Definitely. Silk won't be sold as raw material, either...
To exploit the real world parallel, Kralori "china", tea, fireworks, paper products...

As a central European, I'd like to point to the riverine wine regions of Rhine and Danube, which have produced their own brands since the middle ages (at least). Doubtlessly the Romans had their hands in this, but then a certain Roman parallel for the Lunars and their ilk has always been there, hasn't it?
Mesopotamia produced wine as well, or the yeast component in the world's oldest beer recipe wouldn't have been vine grapes... (Yes, I am a beer or whisky drinker, not a wine person.)

Esrolia does produce wine, but not in quantities sufficient for export. The Colymar Clearwine grape comes from Esrolia.
>From real world parallels, I'd suggest from south Esrolia, where there
is volcanic soil. Volcanic soil is where Pelorian wine would be
produced, too (and Peloria is Lodril country).
