Nirnroot Wine[edit]

When first entering the Winery, you can overhear him mutter, "Well, I think my problems just might be over."

"Come to buy some of my astonishing Nirnroot wine? Well, I hate to break your heart but I'm all out."
What's Nirnroot wine?
"Ah, playing hard to get, eh? A canny customer, I see. Nirnroot wine is the best wine ever! One bottle and you'll never want, or need, another. It's my own special recipe, you can get it only from me. Or you could, if I had some."
How can I get some?
"Well, you get me some Red Mountain Ash and I'll whip up a batch and maybe give you a bottle.
Head down to Lake Rumare and look for Red Mountain Tuffs along the shore. You can harvest the ash from those. Bring it here and I'll get right to work.

When spoken to before collecting the ash, you can ask him questions.

"Red Mountain Ash is what I need. And you're just the sort who can bring it to me. Harvest it from the tuff around Lake Rumare.
If you see anyone else harvesting ash, steal theirs before they steal yours!"
Tell me more about Nirnroot wine
"Well, I hear it's amazingly potent and delicious. Never tasted it myself, but that's what they say. Those who've tasted it. Or so they say."
How do you make it?
"Ah, now that's my secret. Can't be telling everyone how to make it, or there goes my market right?
Say, you wouldn't be spying for one of my competitors, would you?"
Competitors?
"Oh, you're a sly one. But your left eye twitches when you lie, you know.
Yes, I have competitors. They used to be my helpers but then they stole the recipe and set up their own shops. Their wine is swill, truly inferior products. Forget about them."

Once you have the ash, you can return to Wilminn:

"Back again, I see. And looking better than ever! I hope you're loaded up with Red Mountain Ash. I can almost taste that Nirnroot wine now. Almost."
I have the ash right here.
"I knew I could count on you. The minute I saw your face, I said to myself, "Wilminn, all your troubles are over." Bless your honest soul. Now just hand over that ash and take your reward, with my heartfelt thanks!"

When spoken to after the quest:

"You again? Sorry, I have all the ash I need. Good day!"
What does Nirnroot wine taste like?
"It's weird, but I don't know. I don't think anyone else does either. There's something strange about that wine, it doesn't seem to want anyone to drink it. Maybe it tastes awful and it doesn't want everyone to know?"
So no one's ever tasted Nirnroot wine?
"Not that I know of. And believe me, I've tried. If you think about drinking it, the wine knows and makes you drunk before you uncork the bottle. If you ever manage to drink some, let me know what it tastes like."
