People use coloured filters to improve the view of planets. Perhaps someone could investigate to use of spirit filters on planetary detail. You can get various shades of yellow/brown from whiskey. If you need a stronger yellow try tequila and ouzo can be used as a neutral density filter for lunar observing. Winos like myself are probably limited to subtle yellow/green filtering from whites, though of course champagne isn't a good option. And if the next total lunar eclipse isn't red enough a bit of pinot noir in the light path could be just the thing.
