Is there any benefit besides having something to do, for making nectar?
Back in the old days of Sims 2, making juice from fruit and vegetables grown in the garden, and drinking it, would give different benefits.
Making nectar in Sims 3 only seems to serve as something extra to do, an extra skill to gain, and making money by selling it.
The different herbs have effects when eaten or used on a bonfire, why not nectar?
It also seems like the possible combination and percentage of fruits, especially with the one's that come with the Bohemian Garden set, is endless and difficult to guess which make the 'delicious' or terrible nectar, and it seems that the rare/r grapes don't make any difference to that chance, even when the sim has a high level in the skill. Has anyone done a thorough and complete test of that, including the Bohemian Garden fruits/nuts with all kinds of percentages and skill levels?
And has anyone found any effect or different effects of drinking it?

As far as I know, the Bohemian Garden fruit is equivalent to using apples in nectar making as far as recipe value and taste (i.e. amazing vs. terrible).
I don't guess with nectar recipes. I use this list a lot, or this list. I use this mod as well; I haven't discovered anything better than what I've found online with it though. I find the mod useful when I have a bunch of random fruits to use up and I let it pick a likely good combination.
I mainly use nectar making for money. I age the nectar as long as I can stand and then consign it. One household made 1.4 million from their nectar hoard. I'd have sims drink it regularly for the moodlets, but you can't hire maids if you do (they'll throw away glasses of served nectar) and I usually forget to have my sims drink it regularly. But that would definitely be a strategy to keep your sims' mood meter maxed.
