Oenology

Oenology (Domestic/Technical) by Taalismn

This is the dedicated skill of producing wine. While the Palladium Medical Skill Brewing: Medicinal covers basic fermentation and the fundamentals of wine-making, it specifically excludes stronger, more ‘sophisticated’ types such as champagne and fine wine. This skill teaches wine chemistry, grape selection, storage and aging techniques, blending, and bottling, with an eye towards producing not simply a potable product, but a QUALITY vintage. The practitioner of this skill will also acquire a ‘nose’ for wine, and will be able to tell, with a sniff and a sip, the age of a wine and its particulars(type of grapes used, its history).

Base Skill: 25 %/30% + 5% per level of experience. The second stat is the quality of the end product; the lower the roll, the better the quality of the end product. (Tasting) 40 % + 5% per level of experience.

Bonuses: +3% if Chemistry is also taken, +5% from Viticulture
