Wine Making

Wine-making is the science of turning grapes into alcohol. You must first find Red Grapes or White Grapes in the wild and cultivate their seeds on Trellises to obtain Grapes. Wine effects can be viewed Here

Grapes must then be smashed in a Stomping Barrel, Quern, or Food Processor to obtain smashed grapes. To use a stomping barrel, Right Click with fresh grapes. Then, jump up and down on the barrel 16 times. Right Click with an empty hand to retrieve the items.

Then, seal the smashed grapes in a barrel for 5 days to ferment them.

Barrel press

The barrel press is the last step in grape processing.

The leftmost slot can contain up to 16 grapes. Four grape items are needed for a bottle of wine. The four central slots are for mixing the grapes with other ingredients, but this is optional. Using only red or white grapes yields red or white wine. Adding at least one red grape to white wine makes Rose. Adding sugar to white wine makes dessert wine. Adding tirage mixture (yeast and sweetener in a barrel) makes sparkling wine.

Wine must be bottled in a proper wine bottle, made of non-silica glass.

Bottle Label

Bottle labels can be renamed in a scribing station, and will add their name to the wine's tooltip.

Wine must be provided with a Cork, made by soaking Treated Lumber in Limewater for a day. When all is complete, use the bottle slot to fill the wine, or by pressing Right Click with a bottle in hand.

Drinking Wine

The discerning sommelier will be able to detect subtleties in the wine that is produced under different conditions. Indeed, this is possible in the world of TFG as well. It starts in the fields in which those grapes were grown -- a row of grapes is deeply affected by the ambient environment and soil.

Grapes can have three terrain related traits -- 'Gravel Grown', 'Slope Grown', and 'Dirt Grown', based on the environment nearby. Wine also records the Koppen Climate Classification of the area in which it is bottled. Grapes grown near bees have the 'Bee Pollinated' trait.

Wine begins aging as soon as it is bottled, and stops aging when the cork is removed. The cork can be removed by Right Click on the bottle item with a knife item. Otherwise, wine bottles work a little like buckets, and can be emptied into barrels or other devices.

Wine Shelf

The Wine Shelf is the perfect accessory for your vinery, allowing you to display and store your wine bottles in style.
