How To Make Wine In Stardew Valley

As a seasoned Stardew Valley gamer, I can’t stress enough how crucial it is to diversify your farming business and take advantage of the artisan goods, especially wine. Creating wine from fruits is a game-changer in terms of maximizing profits.


In Stardew Valley, transforming your farm produce into artisan products like wine is an effective way to enhance their value. Among these methods, converting fruits into wine is particularly profitable. Making wine involves utilizing unique equipment and investing time, but the increased selling price is worth it, especially when you can do it in large quantities. Here’s a simple guide on creating wine and earning more money as a result:

How To Make Wine In Stardew Valley

As a passionate wine enthusiast, I’d describe it this way: With the right ingredients and a bit of patience, I can transform my harvested fruits into something truly special. All I need is a well-crafted keg, which I can create using 30 pieces of wood, a copper bar, an iron bar, and a touch of oak resin once I reach farming level 8. The magic really happens during the seven-day fermentation process. Once complete, each fruit that has been transformed into wine is now worth three times its original value – a delightful return on my investment!

How to make high-quality wine

As a gamer, I can tell you that when I collect fruits in this game, they all get transformed into regular quality wine. So, using top-notch fruits won’t result in any extra value for me. However, if I put vegetables into those kegs instead, they will convert into juice, and some of them even turn into special items like hops that become pale ale. And, if I have the ‘Artisan’ profession, I get a nice bonus of 40% more worth for every wine I produce.

Unlocking the cellar

After enhancing your main house for the third time, you’ll gain access to a cellar where you can enhance the taste of your wine. Inside the cellar, you have the option to store casks. Wine placed inside these casks will age over time, with silver quality taking 14 days, gold requiring 28 days, and iridium needing 56 days. The aged wine will then be worth more: 25% more for silver, 50% more for gold, and a full 100% more for iridium. Although the time investment may not be ideal for everyone, if you’re producing wine in sufficient quantities, it’s beneficial to fill the casks with your wine rather than waiting until an open cask is available.
