So you want to be an ATiTD wine maker? No. Stop. Don't do it. Go away. It will drive you nuts.

Still here? Well let me share what little I know.

Wine making starts with the Viticulture technology. Any level 5+ player can learn it at any UWorship where it's been unlocked.

Step One: The Cutting

The first thing you'll need is a vine cutting and there are two ways to get cuttings. The best way is to ask around. Veteran winemakers usually have lots of cuttings and give them away for free. Sometimes they even setup public warehouses and vineyards where you can get cuttings for yourself. They can also recommend the best types of cuttings for wine or chemistry.

The second method is to take a deben tilipa meat to a UWorship which has unlocked viticulture. Hand over the tilipia and you might get a vine cutting in return. It all depends on whether anyone else has received a cutting in the last hour from that university. If someone else recently received a cutting, you'll just get a message to come back later.

Each UWorship gives out a different randomly selected type of cutting. At the beginning of tale, it's best to make wines with the Balance type cutting. If that's not available, use any of the others but switch to Balance once it shows up. After crossbreeding is unlocked there will be even better vine types to use. It's why it's best to skip the UWorships altogether and just ask another player for cuttings.

Step Two: The Planting

Now that you have a shiny new cutting, head back to your camp and build several vineyards near your CP. I recommend building a row of five or six.
