Muster (military)
The term muster means the process or event of accounting for members in a military unit. This practice of inspections led to the coining of the English idiom , meaning being sufficient. When a unit is created, it is "mustered in" and when it is disbanded, it is "mustered out". If a unit "musters" it is generally to take account of who is present and who is not. A muster roll is the list of members of a military unit, often including their rank and the dates they joined or left. A roll call is the reading aloud of the names on the muster roll and the responses, to determine who is present.

To some extent, the system was an outdated remnant of the feudal system where local lords had their own armies, which they provided for the King as required. The British Armed Forces have a tradition of performing a muster for the reigning Monarch during a jubilee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Muster (grape)
Avarengo is a red Italian wine grape variety that is grown in the Piedmont wine region of northwest Italy where it is a permitted blending component in the ''Denominazione di origine controllata'' (DOC) wines of Pinerolese. Here the grape is usually blended with Avanà, Neretta Cuneese and other local red Piemontese varieties.J. Robinson, J. Harding and J. Vouillamoz ''Wine Grapes - A complete guide to 1,368 vine varieties, including their origins and flavours'' pgs 69-70 Allen Lane 2012 History Ampelographers believe that the name ''Avarengo'' is derived from the Latin ''avaro'', which means "stingy" and is likely a reference to the vine's propensity to produce very low yields, even among young vines. The grape has had a long history growing in the Val Chisone region of the Cottian Alps and around the commune of Pomaretto in the Valle Germanasca with ampelographers believing that Avarengo likely originated somewhere between these areas.
