While there are a lot of ways to make money in Stardew Valley, one of the best ways to rake in a lot of gold is to make artisan goods. One of the artisan goods you can make in the game is Wine, and besides being a good money maker, Wine is also needed for some bundles and a quest, and it's also a good gift to give to most villagers. In this article, we'll teach you how to make wine and age it in Casks. We also go over the best fruit for making Wine, some ideal places to store your Kegs, and much more.
Making Wine in Stardew Valley
To make Wine, simply put any fruit in the Keg. After 10 in-game days, the Keg will produce a bottle of wine. The most profitable fruit for making wine is Starfruit, but Melons are also a good choice if you're just starting out.

Craft or obtain a Keg. The Keg recipe is unlocked when you get to Farming level 8, and requires 30 Wood, 1 Copper Bar, 1 Iron Bar, and 1 Oak Resin. However, you can also get Kegs from a few other sources:
- Bundles: If you're playing with standard Community Center bundles, completing the Artisan's Bundle will get you a Keg. If you're playing with remixed bundles, you'll get the Keg from finishing the Brewer's Bundle.
- Prize Machine: There is a 50% chance of getting 4 Kegs as the 19th reward from the Prize Machine. [1] X Research source
-
Place the Keg. Kegs can be placed just about anywhere, both on your farm and outside of it. You can put them in buildings or on the ground outside. However, if an NPC walks through your Keg, it will be destroyed. It's best to put them inside or place them somewhere where NPCs don't go. We go over the best spots to place Kegs further down in this article.Advertisement
-
Place one fruit inside the Keg. One fruit will create one bottle of Wine. You can use any fruit to create Wine, even inedible fruit. To learn which fruit is the best for wine, jump ahead to this section .
- The fruit's quality doesn't affect the quality of the Wine once it's done brewing. Wine is always normal quality, but normal quality Wine is always going to be more profitable than any quality fruit (even iridium quality).
-
Wait for 7 days. It takes 7 in-game days for the Wine to finish brewing. Once the Wine is done, you must collect it from the Keg before brewing something else.
-
Age the Wine in a Cask (optional). With Casks, you can age the Wine to improve its quality and value. Simply place the Wine in the Cask and allow it to age. To take Wine from a Cask before it has reached iridium quality, hit the Cask with an Axe, Hoe, or Pickaxe.
- The Cask recipe is obtained by getting the final Farmhouse upgrade. It takes 20 Wood and 1 Hardwood to make a Cask. [2] X Research source .
- Casks must be placed in the cellar (which is added to the Farmhouse with the final upgrade) to age Wine. The cellar can hold 33 Casks.
- It takes 14 in-game days to age the Wine to silver quality, 28 in-game days to age the Wine to gold quality, and 56 in-game days to age the Wine to iridium quality.
- Many players fill their Casks with as much Wine as possible, then sell the surplus until the Casks are done aging. To maximize profits, place your highest-value Wine in your Casks (such as Starfruit, Ancient Fruit, Pineapple, or Melon Wine).
