- 30 Wood
- 1 Copper Bar
- 1 Iron Bar
- 1 Oak Resin
The Cask
To age and improve the quality of your wine, you'll need Casks. Casks become available after upgrading your house to include a cellar. To craft a Cask, you'll need:
- 20 Wood
- 1 Hardwood
Wine Production Process
Step 1: Harvesting Grapes
The first step in winemaking is harvesting your grapes, berries, or fruits. Once your crops have matured, collect them and store them in a chest near your kegs.
Step 2: The Keg
Place the harvested crop into a Keg and wait for the magic to happen! The amount of time it takes for the Keg to transform the fruit into wine depends on the crop:
- Grapes: 7 days
- Berries: 7 days
- Fruits: 7 days
Step 3: The Cask
Now it's time to age and improve the wine's quality in a Cask. Place the wine produced by the Keg into a Cask in your cellar. The aging process has four stages:
- Silver Star: 14 days
- Gold Star: 28 days
- Iridium Star: 56 days
Step 4: Sales and Profits
Once your wine has reached the desired quality level, remove it from the Cask and sell it at high prices. Iridium quality wines will fetch the most profit, so patience is key!
How To.Make Wine Stardew Example:
Imagine you're playing Stardew Valley and you've decided to plant a crop of Starfruit in the summer. After 13 days, you've managed to harvest a sizable amount of Starfruit. Now you place them into your Kegs, and after seven days of waiting, your Starfruit Wine is ready! You then transfer the wine to your cellar with Casks and let it age for 56 days. The result? An Iridium quality Starfruit Wine that will bring in a considerable amount of gold when sold!
Winemaking in Stardew Valley can be a fun and profitable endeavor for players looking to immerse themselves in the world of virtual viniculture. As you've learned in this guide, planting the right crops and utilizing the right equipment can lead to fantastic results and impressive profits, just like with real-life winemaking!
