By the time of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a cantina in the Black Spire Outpost settlement on the Outer Rim planet Batuu imported some of the alcoholic beverage from Ando to serve to its patrons.^[2] In 19 BBY,^[7] the cantina's bartender, Janott, offered Andoan White and other beverage selections to the human Senator Padmé Amidala upon her visit to the establishment. When Amidala chose Andoan White, he poured a few centimeters of the wine into an obsidian mug for her in exchange for five credits. As she sipped her drink, Janott inquired if she liked the wine, and the senator confirmed that she enjoyed it. Afterward, Amidala ordered a second serving of Andoan White while writing a funerary song for her deceased former handmaiden, Duja, on her datapad. After half an hour of nursing the wine, she eventually finished it and left the cantina.^[2]
