In Carolina in 1709, John Lawson allowed that he was "not a fair judge of the different sorts of Quinces, which they call Brunswick, Portugal and Barbary", but he noted "of this fruit they make a wine or liquor which they call Quince-Drink, and which I approve of beyond any that their country affords, though a great deal of cider and perry is there made, The Quince-Drink most commonly purges."
Di Carolina pada tahun 1709, John Lawson menyetujui bahwa ia, "tidak begitu tahu tentang macam-macam quince, yang mereka sebut Brunswick, Portugal, dan Barbary", tetapi ia mencatat "buah ini yang mereka buat wine atau minuman keras yang mereka namai Quince-drink , dan saya setujui melebihi dari mereka di negeri-negeri sana, walaupun di sana cider and perry banyak dibuat, Quince-Drink paling saban kali menjernihkan pikiran."
