Wine Barrel
The Wine Barrel turns Grape Juice into Wine: 4 bottles of juice become 4 of wine, of the same star. It works by itself once loaded, 8 minutes a batch (8 steps of a minute). It comes with Winemaking (175 green, 20 blue, after Fertilizers IV) and costs 4 Oiled Planks, 8 Iron Nails and 2 Iron Details. It can only be built in the Vineyard’s cellar.

Notes
- Wine is the most demanding drink. Starting a batch needs Farming mastery 10, 12 or 14 by star, the same as pressing the grapes at the Vine Press. Each bottle of juice takes 6 grapes, so one batch of wine is 24 grapes.
- The Wine Master perk adds a bottle to each batch.
- Winemaking also gives the grape juice recipes. Cold Pressing alone only presses apples and berries.
- Better wine packs tighter. A Supply: Wine crate at the factory kitchen takes 8, 6 or 4 bottles by star.
- Dismantling it returns half the materials: 2 Oiled Planks, 4 Iron Nails and 1 Iron Detail.
- The monks want the best. The Royal Foundry’s wine quest asks for 2 bottles of ★3 wine, which means ★3 grapes all the way through.
