How Wine Prices are Established in Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley offers players the opportunity to escape the monotony of everyday life by immersing themselves in the idyllic Pelican town and participating in activities such as farming and more. In addition to farming, players can engage in various profitable ventures, including the creation of artisan goods.

Within Stardew Valley, artisan goods can be crafted using specialized equipment tailored to specific products. An excellent example of an artisan good is wine, a valuable commodity that players can create to enhance their in-game profits. This article will guide players through the process of producing and aging wine to achieve perfection in Stardew Valley.

How Long Does Wine Take

In Stardew Valley, wine is known for its high profitability. To obtain wine, players can utilize a keg. The processing time for Artisan goods can vary, ranging from a few in-game hours to multiple days. However, wine stands out as one of the longer-processing artisan goods, taking a full week to become ready for sale.

Additionally, players have the option to age their wine in casks, which increases its overall value. It is important to note that for the highest quality iridium wine, it must be left to age for around 56 days, significantly longer than other goods.

Since wine is an Artisan Good, players who have the Artisan Profession can see a 40% increase in its selling price.

How Wine Prices are Established in Stardew Valley

In Stardew Valley, Wine stands out as a highly profitable and prized Artisan Good. Its selling price is calculated by multiplying the value of the base fruits used in its production by three. It's worth noting that the quality of the fruits (Normal, Silver, Gold, or Iridium) does not affect the selling price of the Wine.

However, transferring the Wine to a Cask and allowing it to age can increase its value. By aging the Wine from a normal quality to a higher quality (Silver, Gold, Iridium), players can command higher prices when selling it. Aging Wine is a time-consuming process, but the higher the quality, the more profit can be gained. The time required for Wine to age varies: Silver quality is achieved after 14 days, Gold after 28 days, and Iridium after 56 days. Despite the extended aging duration, reaching Iridium quality allows for doubling the Wine's base selling price.

Stardew Valley is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
