Overview: The Winery in Ikariam
The Winery is a building that can be erected in your city once the associated research is complete. It ensures professional processing and storage of wine, so less is lost and the wine can age well.
The levels of the Winery increase the wine savings in buildings. Already level 1 provides 1% savings, level 10 already 10% and level 32 reaches 32%.
Research: Unlock the Winery
To be able to build Wineries, you must complete the research Winery. It costs 48,000 research points and requires the economic research Spirit Level.
The effect of the research then allows the construction of Wineries in your cities.
Effect: Wine Savings per Level
With each expansion level of the Winery, the wine savings increase by 1%. This reduces the wine costs for buildings accordingly.
| Level | Wood | Marble | Expansion Time | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 338 | 122 | 22m 48s | 1% |
| 5 | 757 | 503 | 38m 33s | 5% |

Wine: Raw Material and Usage
Wine is a raw material and belongs to luxury goods. It is produced in the Vineyard on wine islands, where workers can be hired once the research Prosperity (Economy) is complete.
- Serving in the Tavern
- Increasing population satisfaction
- Training of Cooks in the Barracks
Optimising Wine Efficiency
Wine production and wine consumption can be optimised in two ways:
- With a Vineyard the production of wine can be increased.
- With a Winery the wine costs for buildings can be reduced.
For serving in the Tavern, the additional research Wine Culture is required, which enables the construction of Taverns. It costs 336 research points and requires Prosperity and Well Construction.
