Vines and Wine

Vines and Wine

Find wild vines, grow your own vineyard, stomp the harvest barefoot — and pour a wine worth a saga.

Vines and Wine adds a whole winemaking craft to Valheim: three grape varieties hidden around the world, vineyards on

trellises, a wine press you stomp in with your friends, fermentation, aging — and 24 wines to discover, from a

simple Meadow wine to Freyja's Tears, which can cheat death once. No recipe is handed to you: taste, experiment, and

hunt for the notes old winemakers left in chests across the tenth world.

The vines

| Grape | Where it grows wild |

| --- | --- |

| Pale grapes | By abandoned farms, villages and lonely houses in the Meadows |

| Dark grapes | On the stone walls of ruined towers in the Black Forest |

| Sun grapes | At Fuling camps in the Plains |

| Vineberry Cluster | The vanilla Ashlands berry — it goes into the press too; its own growing is unchanged |

Pick a bunch to eat on the road, or bring cuttings home — they fall from wild vines, and Greydwarf shamans sometimes

carry a dark one grown into them. Plant a cutting by a trellis: the vine grows with the days of the world, even while

you are away, and gives an extra bunch in its native lands.

From grape to goblet

• Press. Load 12, 24 or 36 fruits into the big wooden vat, take off your boots and stomp — run, jump, or bring

friends to finish the batch faster.

• Ferment. Two in-game days in a fermentation barrel turn the must into an unknown wine. You see what it was

made of, its colour and a few aroma notes — but not what it is.

• Taste. The first sip reveals the wine's name and effect — for you alone.
• Age. Rest a vessel in an aging barrel to earn ★, ★★ and ★★★: every effect lasts longer and hits harder — the

useful, the playful and the harmful alike.

24 wines — and a few ways to fail

• 10 wines that speed up stamina, health or eitr regeneration.
• 11 special wines. The right additives in the press give each one a trait no mead has: staying dry in the rain, a

wider view of the map, a farmer's luck, a second chance from Freyja… The wrong additive spoils the batch.

• 3 playful wines for good company.
• 8 kinds of spoiled wine, from nausea to darkened eyes — you only find out which by tasting. Stars mean aging, not

safety.

Ingredients and ratios are deliberately left out of this page.

The Winemaker's Table

• A shared recipe book. Build a winemaker's table and, like at a cartography table, write down the wines you know

and read what others have discovered. Each table keeps its own book; while the book has records, the hammer can't

dismantle the table.

• Leaf through it with your movement keys (A/D by default), the arrow keys or the mouse wheel — LB/RB on a gamepad.

Each of the 24 wines has a page. A wine that is neither in the book nor in your journal stays grey: it shows only

which lands it belongs to and the notes bound to it.

• Recipes in chests. Recipe books and winemaker's notes turn up in the chests of dungeons, ruins, camps and

shipwrecks — in the lands where you can already gather everything for that wine; sometimes from the lands before,

rarely from the next. The notes are riddles and fragments left by three voices: Thorolf the vintner, Aud the seeress

and Bjarni the skald. Put the pieces together, and finish by experiment whatever they don't tell you yet.

• The craft, page by page. Notes about the vines and the craft turn into the book's first chapter — a guide from a

wild vine to an aged wine, found one by one as you explore.

Installation & multiplayer

• Install with r2modman, Mod Manager or Gale: BepInExPack Valheim and Jötunn are installed automatically.

Manual install: put Winemaking.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

• Required on the server and on every client, with the same version — otherwise Jötunn does not let the client

join. Server settings are synced to all players.

• Existing worlds work: wild vines appear in areas you have not explored yet, and every location chest rolls for

records onc
