Before you can make aged wine, you’ll need to upgrade your farmhouse to it’s final and third upgrade. The final upgrade costs 100,000g and adds a cellar to your house so if you see a lot of wine sales in your future, start saving now.
2. Place Wine in a Cask
With the cellar upgrade, you’ll have access to casks. These casks can be used to create different qualities of win like silver, gold, and iridium. Each quality level takes a different amount of time to generate, here’s a breakdown of how long you’ll have to wait for each tier:
Silver quality: 14 days
Gold quality: 28 days
Iridium quality: 56 days
Once it reaches iridium quality, the wine will sell for a much higher price. If you want to make more casks to speed up the production process, you can make additional ones for 20 wood and 1 hardwood each.
