== About Us ==
The wine guild, discussing all aspects of the wine production process.

The guild maintains a warehouse next to the guild hall to facilitate cutting and wine exchange. Cuttings in the warehouse are free for the taking.

== Wine Exchange ==
For now, we ask that you add two bottles to the exchange for each one you take. As we build up a stock, we can change the exchange rate.

== Hybrid Vines ==
** RoaminUmp#1, phenotype ACCS (i.e. it's a bit worse than Frivolity :/)
** RoaminUmp#4, phenotype AGGGV (should be more grapes than Distraction)
** RoaminUmp#5, phenotype ACSSS (more sugar than frivolity)
** Shelyak#1 (on vineyard), phenotype GGSSV (like Distraction, but with Frivolity's sugar profile)

== Getting Started in Winemaking ==
* Main [[Wine]] page on wiki
* [[Vineyards and Wine Guides]] has lots of good advice.
* [[User:RoaminUmp]] will happily sell you a few barrels if you need.

Distraction is a fantastic grape to get rolling with - decent numbers across the board, and TONS of grapes. Plus, it's pretty foolproof - nearly all of the vine states have an obvious best tending choice. If you follow this plan, you'll end up with great vines (vigor numbers noted):
** Fat->Shade (-6)
** Musty->Pinch (-1)
** Rustle->Trim (-2)
** Sagging->Mist (-2)
** Shimmer->Spread (-9)
*** If you don't want the big vigor hit, you can Aerate for -2, but you lose 3 grapes.
** Shrivel->Tie (-3)
** Wilting->Pinch (-3)

If you want to target high-quality wines, go with Appreciation; for very high-sugar, Frivolity. They're both OK at grape production, not great. Brilliance is hard to get great products out of - it's good for color, but not much else.

== Plans ==
* Create a compound with tasting table near the guild hall
* Host tastings!
