>Does barley wine qualify as beer?
This is locally variable. In some places, a fermented beverage whose
ingredients do not include hops cannot be sold as beer; the same is
often true for uncarbonated brews. "Malt liquor" may or may not be an
effective synonym for "barley wine" in some places.
The situation is at least as complicated as that of the varying
definition of chocolate between Belgium and England. This may have
changed, but at one time Cadbury milk chocolate contained too little
cocoa solids to qualify as chocolate by the Belgian standards, but it
reportedly contained just enough dairy content to theoretically be
able to be called "cheese".
The shifting definition of "Sterling silver" between different nations
is another example of locality-dependent terminology.
