WINE

Vine Farm (Vineyard)

ake wine like any other processed good. Farmers bring grapes from a vines farm to a wine workshop. Wine is a valuable export commodity and a good thing to have in one's warehouses. It has a special role for your own people, too.

Plebs are not allowed to drink wine as part of their normal diet. Wine is restricted to patricians, who consider it such a necessity that they will not establish villas in your city unless it is available.

Wine Workshop

To see the most expensive villas, you will need (amongst other things) to make at least two types of wine available. This simply means that there need to be two sources of grapes, perhaps one grown locally and the other imported, or both imported from different places. It is equally acceptable to import the wine itself from two sources if you prefer, rather than importing grapes and then making the wine locally.

scribe's note:

You don't have to keep track of types of wine. As long as you're getting wine from at least two different sources - only one of which can be local - your markets automatically balance the varieties. As long as a particular market has wine to sell, and your city has two different wine or grape sources, then that market sells both varieties.

Patricians can go for short periods without wine, but if your supplies run dry for more than three months they will leave, and their homes will revert to plebeian housing.

If wine were always forbidden to plebs, none would want to live in the provinces. They drink as much of it as they are allowed to have. When you hold a Grand Festival you must make wine available to everyone in the city; the wine is then removed automatically from your warehouses.
