Winemaking

From the harvest to the final wine, the grapes and wine must be processed. The order of steps is generally the same for all wines and sorts, but white wine is pressed before fermentation, where red wine is only pressed after it is fermented.

Most of the steps have options that can be configured with a wizard after the card is played and the tiles are placed on the playing board. These options are important to consider, since each sort of wine has its own set of desired characteristics.

Timing also plays an important role, as the grapes changes their taste during fall even after harvesting is possible. Also, longer turn numbers e.g. during fermentation or aging in the casks can affect the quality of the wine in a positive or negative way by introducing flavors.

1 Note that, as of version 1.0.5, you can only sell the complete harvest of grapes or all must of that grape after crushing. The winemaking stops here, but you can still proceed with the grapes of the other vineyards.
