Wine is an alcoholic drink (although it can be made with 0% alcohol) made with grapes harvested from a [[Vineyard]] and allowed to ferment in a sealed [[Wine Barrel]]. When drunk at a [[Ceremonial Tasting Table]], wine gives palate increases and allows one to fill a [[Wine Notebook]]. This allows one to raise their perception.

As viticulture has only recently been opened in egypt much of the information linked to from this page is currently missing.

== Wine on the Vine ==
=== Vine Cuttings ===
Vine cuttings can be obtained from the [[University of Worship]] in regions that have unlocked [[Viticulture]].

{{6ok}} You must pay 1 [[Tilapia Fish]] Meat for a cutting.
* A new cutting becomes available about every hour. Unclaimed cuttings will be stored.
* It is possible for the university to be out of cuttings when you ask for one, if a lot of people have recently taken one. You still lose your fish, however.

Vine cuttings may also be taken from your vineyard every two hours whether you tend or not. It may be easier to get a cutting from another player than from a University.

Once you have a cutting, you may ''Plant'' it on the vineyard. Once planted the vine appears. Clicking on the vineyard again will reveal the starting stats for that vine including the number of grapes.

=== Vine Attributes ===
Each vine has seven statistics that are affected by your tending methods. For each type of gene set within a genome it adds another range of -3 to +4 to the initial range of -3 to +4 without that particular gene set. The tend tables reflect this range according to the number of particular gene sets within the vine genome. Example: One color gene set within a vine genome would affect the color value by a range of -6 to +8 depending on the tend. Two color gene sets would affect the color value by a range of -9 to +12 and so on.

|}

=== Vineyard States ===
Each vineyard will cycle through a specific sequence of states, as a vine is tended. This cycle will be the same for the life of the yard, and thus may be recorded to aid in planning/tending.

There are seven possible vineyard states:
{| border="1" cellpadding="5"

|-
| '''R''' || Rustle || Leaves rustle in the breeze
|-
| '''Sv''' || Shrivel || The grapes are starting to shrivel
|-
| '''Sm''' || Shimmer || Leaves shimmer with moisture
|}

=== Tending Methods ===
Vines may be tended once an hour using one of the seven methods below:
{| border="1" cellpadding="5"
|-
! Short !! Long !! Full Text
|-
| '''AS''' || Aerate || Aerate the soil
|-
| '''MG''' || Mist || Mist the grapes

|-
| '''SV''' || Spread || Spread out the vines
|-
| '''TV''' || Tie || Tie the vines to the trellis
|-
| '''TL''' || Trim || Trim the lower leaves
|}

=== Know the goals for your wines to know your tends ===
Each combination of vineyard state and tending method will make a specific set of changes to the value of the seven vine attributes. Your 'tend' will change each statistic either positively or negatively.

{{5ok}}:For example, with a Balance vine if you "aerate" a "sagging" vineyard you will see: 
:Acid -1, Color (X), Grapes -5, Quality +6, Skin +5, Sugar (X), Vigor -12.

Tending tables show the progression of changes to state/tend and method/vine combinations. The change in stat numbers for a particular tend from one state/tend method/vine combination remain the same. These sets of progressions change each tale.

Know your goals for the wine to know what tends you want. The suggestions below will help direct your tending:
* If acid is too low, older vintages may end up losing their flavour.
* Higher grapes count make more bottles of wine.
* If wine quality is too low, top tier flavors (see below) may not be revealed. Zero quality wines will always be "thin" with no detectable flavors.
* Higher sugar allows higher alcohol levels in the barrel. Thus, if you plan to bottle the wine as "grape juice" (alcohol 0%) for flavor testing, you do not need to worry about ensuring sufficient sugar in the grapes. Alcohol also plays a part in the longevity of the wine while it is bottled.
* There are two reasons vines die. If vigor reaches 0 or below or grapes go to 0 the vine will die.

=== Harvesting ===
Some vintners will continue tending until vigor is as low as possible (i.e. there is no tend available that won't kill the vine). Others may choose to tend until vigor reaches a certain range (e.g. in the 50s, etc.), in order to cycle through harvests more quickly.

In either case, once you ''Harvest the Grapes'', they will be placed in your inventory (sequentially numbered by how many harvests you have done). They will remain fresh for 2 teppy days (in inventory, storage or an unsealed barrel). After that, they will spoil and cannot be used.

Harvested grapes appear scattered in your inventory, The [[vinetest | Tending Qualities]] is one tested theory.

'''Notes:'''
* You may check harvest information on your grapes at any time by holding them in your inventory, and using the Self -> Special -> Examine Grapes menu.
* It is a good idea to check the "confirm harvest" option in your interface controls, to prevent mis-clicks while tending or taking vine cuttings.

== Wine in the Barrel ==
=== Filling/Sealing ===
To use a [[Wine Barrel]] you must have grapes in your inventory.
* 21 grapes makes 1 bottle of wine. (Remainders will be lost, but may be used to affect the wine stats.)
* ''Crush the grapes and seal the barrel'' after loading your grapes into the barrel. This requires one [[Barrel Tap]] in your Items inventory.
* You will be asked to name the vintage of wine. This name will be carried through to the bottled wine. You may rename the wine while still in the barrel. This requires 1 [[Quill]], 1 [[Papyrus Paper]] and 1 [[Ink]]. The Quill is not consumed by the process.
* Once the barrel is sealed, the grapes will begin to ferment into wine.

=== Barrel Attributes ===
You may ''Siphon a sample of the wine'' at any time to check its progress, without affecting the wine.
* Alcohol levels rise as residual sugar is converted over time.
* Residual Sugar = Grape Sugar/2
* Tannin conversion rates are determined by Color*Skin.
* Acid is equal to Grape Acid/10 and will not change during fermentation.

Possible wine hues shown in the barrel:
* White
* Rose
* Light Red
* Red
* Dark Red
* Purple-Red
* Purple
* Deep Purple

==== Tannin ====

Tannin is developed in wine from three characteristics in the formula below:
*C is the Colour value
*K is the Skin value
*ETD or the amount of egypt time the wine is in the barrel

T is the amount of tannin

[[Image:Tannin_Equation.GIF|Tannin Equation]]

Alternate formula:
T=C*K/100*(1-2^(-ETD/21))

The maximum tannin possible is the colour value multiplied by the skin value divided by 100. Try to keep Skin and Colour values balanced as you tend. Having wine with a skin value of 300 but a colour value of 10 will only yield 30 tannin. But if you could magically take 100 points from skin and put them into colour the maximum tannin jumps to 220 (110 X 200 / 100).

After 21 Egypt days (approximately a RL week) the wine in the barrel will have developed half its maximum tannin. If you can wait another 21 Egypt days that value will rise to 75% of maximum.

=== Fermentation ===
As the grapes sit in the sealed barrel, they will slowly ferment (convert sugar into alcohol).
* Each 0.1% of Residual Sugar that ferments equals .2% alcohol (eventually).
* Fermentation rates are determined by initial Residual Sugar. Higher sugar grapes will show a more rapid initial rise in alcohol %, but the curve will slow after 10% (such that both low and high sugar grapes will reach 12% in about the same time).
* The minimum amount of time for any wine barrel to reach 12% alcohol is about a RL week. (13% wines will take about one RL month, and 14% wines take about 3 RL months.)
* In order to reach 12% alcohol, you need at least 6% Residual Sugar, or a Sugar score on your grapes of 12.

'''Note:''' There appears to be some rounding of these numbers that may affect whether they meet wine notebook requirements. Thus, if trying for a 12% alcohol wine, it is safest to bottle the wine when alcohol = 12.1%.

=== Bottling ===
When the wine has fermented sufficiently you may bottle it.
* 21 grapes = 1 bottle. Have enough [[Empty Wine Bottles]] in inventory for the number of grapes in the barrel.
* The wine name is the same as the barrel from which it came.
* The vintage of the wine will be set by the current Egypt vintage.
* Bottled wine may be stored, given, traded, dropped etc. as any other portable item.

== Wine in the Bottle ==
=== Understanding Vintages ===
Vintage 0 begins in Akhet I of the first year of the telling. A new vintage happens on the first of every game month (about every 10-11 days in RL time).
* The current vintage in Egypt is shown when you siphon a taste from a barrel.
* The wine's vintage is only locked-in AFTER it is bottled. The 'age' of the wine is the difference between the wine vintage at bottling and the current Egypt vintage. So immediately after bottling the wine is only 0 vintages old.
** This age of the wine is used to satisfy wine notebook requirements (e.g. "wine at least 3 vintages old").
** Wine age also plays a role in which flavors can be detected (see below).
* The higher the vintage number on a bottle of wine, the younger the wine is.

=== Using the Table ===
A bottle of wine may be opened at a [[Ceremonial Tasting Table]] and gives seven glasses of wine. To drink, click on a wine glass on the table, ''fill'' it, and then ''drink''.

You will receive a pop-up showing the results of your tasting and any wine notebook or palate points earned.

The table can be cleared to allow another bottle to be opened. This can be done even if there is wine left in the bottle or in a glass. The empty wine bottle will be stored in the table and can be taken (if the player has permission).

=== Understanding Flavors ===
Each vineyard will have a specific set of flavors that it will imbue in its grapes. These flavors will be revealed in the wine based on a combination of vineyard location, wine age and quality, wine glass quality, and your own palate ability.

==== Vineyard Flavors ====
* Each vineyard can have from zero to 5 (highest amount known) flavors. Flavor areas in the soil overlap each other thus making possible more than one or no flavors in a single vineyard.
* Wines with grapes from more than one vineyard can show up to 7(?) flavors total.
* Each flavor has three "tiers," somewhat akin to category, subcategory and specific flavor. For example: Fruit > Tree Fruit > Peach.
* Each of these tiers can count as a different flavor for the wine notebooks, the first time they are tasted.
* Each flavor appears in the wine at a specific age of the wine. If the wine has not aged sufficiently to reveal at least one flavor, it will present as "thin." For example:
** Peach can be detected as soon as the wine is bottled (age 0 vintages), but Apricot cannot be tasted til the wine is at least 1 vintage old.
** A wine with both Peach and Apricot flavors will show Peach at age 0 and both at age 1.
* See the [[Wine/Flavors|Known Flavors]] table.
* Wines low in acid and alcohol will eventually lose their flavour the longer they are kept (the exact formula for determining the life of the wine is unknown.)
* See the page elaborating on the [[Wine Flavors|Flavor Theory]].

==== Detecting Flavors ====
* The [[quality]] of the wine glass will determine the maximum tier of flavor that can be detected. For example, a wine drunk from a low quality glass may only reveal the Fruit or Tree Fruit flavor tier, while the same wine from a higher quality glass may present as Peach.
* Your "palate" for wine will also affect your ability to detect more flavors.
** You may occasionally receive a notice that your palate has improved after drinking a wine. Your current palate level is not recorded anywhere, so take notes if you want to keep track.
** With no or low palate, you may not be able to detect the third tier of some flavors even in a high quality glass.
** With no or low palate, more subtle flavors may be masked by stronger ones.
* The quality of wine will also affect the ability to detect all three tiers for some flavors, or reveal them in the face of stronger flavors.

=== Other Wine Attributes ===
A wine will also have a flavor intensity, quality, and sweetness. Each of these may change at each vintage (wine age) change. (Listed from high to low below.)
{| border="1" cellpadding="5"
|- valign="top"
! Flavor Intensity !! !! Quality !! !! Sweetness

* The minimum amount of time for any wine barrel to reach 12% alcohol is about a RL week. (13% wines will take about one RL month, and 14% wines take about 3 RL months.)
* In order to reach 12% alcohol, you need at least 6% Residual Sugar, or a Sugar score on your grapes of 12.

'''Note:''' There appears to be some rounding of these numbers that may affect whether they meet wine notebook requirements. Thus, if trying for a 12% alcohol wine, it is safest to bottle the wine when alcohol = 12.1%.

=== Bottling ===
When the wine has fermented sufficiently you may bottle it.
* 21 grapes = 1 bottle. Have enough [[Empty Wine Bottles]] in inventory for the number of grapes in the barrel.
* The wine name is the same as the barrel from which it came.
* The vintage of the wine will be set by the current Egypt vintage.
* Bottled wine may be stored, given, traded, dropped etc. as any other portable item.

== Wine in the Bottle ==
=== Understanding Vintages ===
Vintage 0 begins in Akhet I of the first year of the telling. A new vintage happens on the first of every game month (about every 10-11 days in RL time).
* The current vintage in Egypt is shown when you siphon a taste from a barrel.
* The wine's vintage is only locked-in AFTER it is bottled. The 'age' of the wine is the difference between the wine vintage at bottling and the current Egypt vintage. So immediately after bottling the wine is only 0 vintages old.
** This age of the wine is used to satisfy wine notebook requirements (e.g. "wine at least 3 vintages old").
** Wine age also plays a role in which flavors can be detected (see below).
* The higher the vintage number on a bottle of wine, the younger the wine is.

=== Using the Table ===
A bottle of wine may be opened at a [[Ceremonial Tasting Table]] and gives seven glasses of wine. To drink, click on a wine glass on the table, ''fill'' it, and then ''drink''.

You will receive a pop-up showing the results of your tasting and any wine notebook or palate points earned.

The table can be cleared to allow another bottle to be opened. This can be done even if there is wine left in the bottle or in a glass. The empty wine bottle will be stored in the table and can be taken (if the player has permission).

=== Understanding Flavors ===
Each vineyard will have a specific set of flavors that it will imbue in its grapes. These flavors will be revealed in the wine based on a combination of vineyard location, wine age and quality, wine glass quality, and your own palate ability.

==== Vineyard Flavors ====
* Each vineyard can have from zero to 5 (highest amount known) flavors. Flavor areas in the soil overlap each other thus making possible more than one or no flavors in a single vineyard.
* Wines with grapes from more than one vineyard can show up to 7(?) flavors total.
* Each flavor has three "tiers," somewhat akin to category, subcategory and specific flavor. For example: Fruit > Tree Fruit > Peach.
* Each of these tiers can count as a different flavor for the wine notebooks, the first time they are tasted.
* Each flavor appears in the wine at a specific age of the wine. If the wine has not aged sufficiently to reveal at least one flavor, it will present as "thin." For example:
** Peach can be detected as soon as the wine is bottled (age 0 vintages), but Apricot cannot be tasted til the wine is at least 1 vintage old.
** A wine with both Peach and Apricot flavors will show Peach at age 0 and both at age 1.
* See the [[Wine/Flavors|Known Flavors]] table.
* Wines low in acid and alcohol will eventually lose their flavour the longer they are kept (the exact formula for determining the life of the wine is unknown.)
* See the page elaborating on the [[Wine Flavors|Flavor Theory]].

==== Detecting Flavors ====
* The [[quality]] of the wine glass will determine the maximum tier of flavor that can be detected. For example, a wine drunk from a low quality glass may only reveal the Fruit or Tree Fruit flavor tier, while the same wine from a higher quality glass may present as Peach.
* Your "palate" for wine will also affect your ability to detect more flavors.
** You may occasionally receive a notice that your palate has improved after drinking a wine. Your current palate level is not recorded anywhere, so take notes if you want to keep track.
** With no or low palate, you may not be able to detect the third tier of some flavors even in a high quality glass.
** With no or low palate, more subtle flavors may be masked by stronger ones.
* The quality of wine will also affect the ability to detect all three tiers for some flavors, or reveal them in the face of stronger flavors.

=== Other Wine Attributes ===
A wine will also have a flavor intensity, quality, and sweetness. Each of these may change at each vintage (wine age) change. (Listed from high to low below.)

Solaris Guide to Wine Making

Solaris:

== Building your vineyards ==

Build a grid of vineyards spaced 4 coords apart in both directions. I recommend building a great number of vineyards from the start, preferably 100 or more if you can manage it. Some flavors take a long time to show, so it is not recommended to wait and expand little by little. Flavors depend on location, and placing vineyards 4 coords apart will allow you to catch most flavors in the area without getting too many vineyards in the same flavor spots.

You may build single vineyards, or you may build them in pairs side by side to get more grapes from the same spot. I prefer building in pairs, but that is up to you.

You also need to set up some wine barrels in one of your compounds. Be sure to have enough wine barrels for your needs, at least 1/4 of the number of vineyards you have. Also be sure to have enough empty wine bottles in your inventory when bottling wine.

== Identifying the flavors in your vineyards ==

Use a good balanced vine for this (''balance'' is a good choice) that does not take too long to tend. It should give high yield and not be too low in acid. Tend all your vineyards until they reach as low a vigor as possible, harvest the grapes and put the grapes from each vineyard in a separate barrel. Remember to label the wines so you can easily identify the vineyard, using either coords or whatever labelling system you have on your vineyards. You may also wish to add the vine type in the label. For information on how to tend vines see the general wine guide. The flavor test wines do not need any alcohol, so you can bottle them immediately if you wish.

You now need to figure out when to taste the test wines. Flavors can take up to 14 vintages to show, so save on your bottles to be able to catch all flavors. I recommend tasting first after 2 vintages to get most of the common flavors, then after 4, 6, 7, 10 and 14 vintages, depending on how many bottles you have. Be sure to save 1 bottle of each test wine for testing after 14 vintages. Use a wine glass of quality 9000 or more for flavor testing.

You can enter the flavor information in the label of your vineyards or in your personal spreadsheet or whatever works for you. Some of the flavors will not show up as tier 3 flavors, which mean you will not get the exact flavor in the vineyard. If you want to identify these flavors, do the flavor testing again using a different vine type for the vineyards in question. Sometimes you can also guess the flavor by looking at neighbouring vineyards.

== Making good wine ==

When making wine you should mix grapes from different vineyards. This will give you more flavors in your wines as well as higher quality. The wine quality is the sum of the quality from all the different grape types, so the more different grapes in the mix, the higher the wine quality. For most purposes quality is not important, so do not aim for high quality in all of your wines.

I usually use grapes from 4 vineyards in each wine. This will give 7 flavors in most wines, a decent quality and a good number of bottles per wine. Mix grapes randomly to avoid getting the same wines.

For most wines I recommend leaving the wine in the barrel until alcohol reaches 12.1% (because of rounding issues you need 12.1% in order to ensure that the resulting wine is 12%). This will make the wine suitable for festivals and for most other purposes. You should also make some 13% and 14% wines for special purposes. Look up wine books to see what types of wine you need.

Let your wines age at least 2 vintages before you start drinking it.

== Making wine with specific flavor combinations ==

For this purpose you first need to have identified the flavors in your vineyards. You do not need to have identified all your flavors, just the ones you need for your wines. If a specific flavor is missing you need to expand your grid of vineyards and hope that you find the flavor. Any flavor may be found anywhere throughout Egypt, so there is no reason to build in other areas or other regions, and there is no guarantee either that you will find the flavor no matter where you build. However, the more vineyards you have, the greater the chance of finding the flavors you need.

Mix grapes from vineyards with the flavors you need to get the combination you are after. For instance, if you need coffee and mint, mix the grapes from one vineyard with coffee flavor with the grapes from one vineyard with mint flavor. For large combinations involving 3 or more vineyards other flavors can dominate so much so that one or more of the desired flavors do not show in the wine, but for simple combinations this should not be a problem. Use different combinations of vineyards or vines for each wine.

The complexity of the flavors will be different in each wine, meaning you will sometimes get many points from each wine, and sometimes none at all (coffee may show only as ''burnt smells'' for instance). Taste the wines using a good set of wine glasses, with quality spread fairly evenly from 0 to 9999. If you run out of vineyard/vine combinations just tear down and rebuild your vineyards at exactly the same spot. This will give you new wines with the same flavor but different complexity.

'''Viticulture''' Allows the growing of grapes. You need the Viticulture skill to build a [[Vineyard]]. Once you learn that, you need a [[Vine Cutting]] to plant in the vineyard. You can tend the vineyard to grow grapes or change the various values (acidity, color, skin) of the vine, and you can take cuttings to grow more vines.

See the [[Wine|Wine Guide]].
