The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Hints

A Venerable Vintage

  • 1 of 6: Go to the Wawnet Inn (location 20 on the Heartlands map) and talk to Nerussa about wine.
  • 2 of 6: She'll send you off after six bottles of Shadowbanish Wine, which can be found in various ruined forts.
  • 3 of 6: There are eight forts that have special wooden chests in them that each contain two bottles of Shadowbanish Wine. Hints for finding those chests are below.
  • 4 of 6: If you have the "Wizard's Tower" DLC module installed, you can also get a bottle of Shadowbanish Wine from Frostcrag Spire's vault area after you pay to have it fixed up. You'll find the bottle on top of the wine rack in the southern part of the vault.
  • 5 of 6: Once you have six or more bottles, talk to Nerussa about wine again to trade in six of them for a bunch of gold.
  • 6 of 6: You can then talk to her about wine to sell any extras you have for 100 gold each (or you can keep them and use them).
