The vast world players are presented with in Stardew Valley offers seemingly limitless potential. Players can raise animals, design their farms, make meaningful relationships, uncover secrets, take on formidable enemies, grow vast amounts of crops, and create various types of goods.
Stardew Valley is truly a game to get lost in, but with so much to do, it can sometimes be confusing to figure out how to complete certain tasks or create certain items. One type of Artisan Good that players may find themselves wondering how to create in Stardew Valley is wine.
This type of Artisan Good can make players anywhere from a measly 15g per bottle to an impressive 6,300g per bottle. It can certainly be a great source of income when done right. Here is a breakdown of all players need to know about making wine in Stardew Valley.
How to make wine in Stardew Valley
You can make wine in Stardew Valley by purchasing a keg and placing any fruit inside of the keg. Much like wineries in real life, this process will take some patience. You’ll then need to wait seven in-game days for the wine to be prepared.
Wine is an Artisan Good in Stardew Valley, making it among the more valuable goods to be bought and sold in Pelican Town. If you’re looking to make some easy gold off of wine, or you just want to stockpile, then I recommend crafting several kegs to get the wine flowing faster and more often.
If you don’t want to go through the process of making wine yourself, you can always wait for the Feast of the Winter Star festival. This event takes place on the 25th of Winter every year at the Pelican Town square. Wine is a very common gift to receive at this event, and a good way to obtain the item if you have no interest in farming.
How to get Kegs in Stardew Valley
To make wine in Stardew Valley, you first need to unlock kegs. You can get the crafting recipe for kegs after you reach farming level eight. Kegs are fairly costly to make and require a ton of resources. Below are all the reagents that you’ll require to make a keg in Stardew Valley:
- x30 Wood
- x1 Copper Bar
- x1 Iron Bar
- x1 Oak Resin
Players can also unlock one already crafted keg upon completing the Artisan Bundle located in the Pantry of the Community Center. One keg is also the reward for the Brewer’s Bundle in the remixed Pantry, also in the Community Center upon choosing to remix the bundles before beginning a new save file of Stardew Valley.
How long does it take to make Wine in Stardew Valley?
It takes seven in-game days to make wine in Stardew Valley. This timer starts the moment you place your desired fruit inside a keg. Thankfully, seven days isn’t too much time to wait: The average day in Stardew Valley only lasts around 14 minutes and 20 seconds, so a whole week adds up to around 99 minutes.
If you want your wine to have a much higher value, consider crafting a cask. They function the same as kegs, but they can hold your wine for a much longer period of time, increasing the quality.
What does Wine do in Stardew Valley?
Wine has two purposes in Stardew Valley. You can either consume the wine yourself or sell it to other NPCs in Pelican Town. Consuming wine will give the tipsy effect, which is both a slight buff and debuff.
The tipsy effect gives between 50 to 130 energy and 22 to 58 extra health, but your movement speed will decrease by one for 30 seconds. Although I wouldn’t recommend bringing this with you as an adventuring staple, it can definitely be useful in a punch.
All Stardew Valley Wine recipes and prices
Fruits will yield their respective types of wine upon being placed in a keg for seven days. The fruit’s value will be multiplied by three times its base value upon being made into wine. The types of fruit and wine and how much players can make per bottle are as follows.
| Wine | Price |
| Ancient Fruit | 1,650g to 4,620g |
| Apple | 300g to 840g |
| Apricot | 150g to 420g |
| Banana | 450g to 1,260g |

Players should also remember that vegetables can also be placed in kegs but will yield juice instead of wine. These juices are significantly less profitable than wines and are not the best way for players to increase the value of any vegetable. Overall, it is best for players to stick to making wine in the keg to maximize their profits.
