The Winery
The wine maker shed allows you to process tree fruit into wine. To build the winery, buy the blueprint from the Rose Country vendor for 40,000 G. To make the shed combine 10 Small Lumber, 15 Stone, 5 Bottles, and 5 Glass Stone. You can find Bottles and Glass Stone while diving for fish.
There are only two machines inside of the winery:
- The press will crush your tree fruit into juice, though you can't drink the juice or cook with it in your kitchen.
- The fermenter can use the pressed juice to transform it into wine.
Converting tree fruit into juice and then into wine is a good way to increase your profits. For example, a 1-star Peach will sell for 96 G, which isn't really all that much money. Pressing the Peach into Peach Pressed Juice will get you 750 G per juice. If you continue the process and turn the juice into 1-Star Peach Wine, you will earn 1500 G. Turning 96 G into 1500 G doesn't seem too bad of a deal!
If you're using fruit that has a higher sell point, such as a Mango (1 star = 320 G), your profit margin will be less, but it will still be more than what the raw fruit sells for. Keep an eye on the Trade Depot and which vendors have a high buy rate for wine for that week, then sell when appropriate. If you were victorious in a crop festival with a fruit, the brand will affect the sell price of wine produced from the fruit.
The main downside to the winery is the amount of time required to produce the wine. It will take 3 days to turn a bottle of pressed juice into wine. To speed up the process, make sure that you place each juice into the fermenter one at a time and not as one single stack. That way all of your bottles are finished in 3 days instead of taking 3 days to process one bottle from your submitted stack of juice.
Cocoa, Olives, and Almonds cannot be processed into fruit juice or wine.
