selling wine

[Momogi]

Can I sell my wine in trade market crate instead of with merchant and how? He's very stingy and I desperately need money because my stupid self didn't take the golden apple after I make it fall and it's gone forever.

The best way to sell wine is in the tavern from Stranger Sins DLC. Without it, you are left with selling a couple (6?) gold one a week to merchant and silver and bronze one to Horadric.

Thanks, I am planning to get the DLC :D

The tavern does the job pretty well...too well sometimes. Partly due to upgrading your tavern - you get too many customers and your zombies (or your personal supply line if you don't have that DLC ether) can't keep up with demand.

I started my zombie vineyard and winery/brewery earlier (before opening up the tavern). My booze supply kept up until I hit the 70+ tavern quality range. Suddenly the 6-7 chests of wine and beer were empty, the storage racks under the tavern lay barren. My wallet bulged with 350+ gold.

The last game I started I decided to avoid the tavern as much as possible as a gold source as a challenge, as well as the "Only 26 White Skull Corpses In The Graveyard" challenge. I've been making my gold this time purely from sermons and selling crates through Merchant.

I see. it looks stressful. If we can't keep up with the demand, would there be a penalty? I am not planning to make a lot of money since I figured out the game is not about all that.

On the other hand, that stress is self inflicted. There is no penalty for not supplying enough.
Each bottle the player had produced is sold (2.5silver for gold wine, 2s for silver one...), for each bottle you tavern gets reputation. There is no reputation loss for selling less than you could.

No penalty. Tavern sells a couple times a day, with a maximum number bottles limited by the tavern reputation. But you can sell less. It is only opportunity loss, no number is going down.
