How Long Does Wine Take

Wine stands out as one of the most profitable goods in Stardew Valley. Players can use a Keg to get their hands on wine. Typically, the processing time for Artisan goods may vary from several in-game hours to various days. When it comes to the wine, it's one of the longer-processing artisan goods, requiring a whole week to be ready for sale.

Furthermore, players can store wine in casks to age it to increase its overall value. However, one important thing to keep in mind is that to achieve the finest iridium-quality wine, it needs to be placed for almost 56 days, which is considerably 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

Wine is one of the most profitable and valuable Artisan Goods in Stardew Valley. The price of Wine is determined by the price of the base fruits used, multiplied by three. Notably, the fruit's quality (Normal, Silver, Gold, Iridium) doesn't impact the Wine's selling price.

Nonetheless, as mentioned above, it's possible to boost the prices by transferring the Wine to a Cask and giving it time to age from a normal quality to a higher quality wine (Silver, Gold, Iridium). Wine takes a really long time to age, but the higher the quality – the more money players make by selling it. The aging duration for Wine varies: it takes 14 days for Wine to reach Silver quality, 28 days for Gold, and 56 days for Iridium quality.

Despite its lengthy aging process, which spans approximately two seasons to progress from basic to Iridium quality, Iridium quality doubles the base selling price of the Wine.
