Ora et Labora
Can I pay a work contract with wine or whiskey before the Winery or Distillery is built?
The rulebook says "from the start of the game on" and forum replies agree.

Yes. The gift rule applies from the start of the game: instead of paying coins you can return 1 wine (France) or 1 whiskey (Ireland), and the owner gets nothing. Building the Winery or Distillery only raises the coin price to 2 and makes wine or whiskey easier to get.
