How to Use the Apple Press and Aging Barrel

The Apple Press

Place an Apple Press on a solid block. Right-click to open it, then insert fruit (apples, cherries, or other pressable fruit). The press converts fruit into mash or juice. Collect the output from the press's output slot. Different fruits may yield different base liquids, which determine the final wine type.

The Aging Barrel

Craft and place an Aging Barrel. Right-click with your juice or mash to fill it, or open the barrel's interface and insert the liquid. Seal the barrel to begin fermentation. Fermentation takes in-game time — check back after several days. The Calendar block is the easiest way to measure how long a batch has been fermenting.

Bottling the Result

When fermentation completes, the barrel holds wine. Use a Bottle on the barrel to fill it. The bottle's name reflects the wine produced (for example, Apple Wine or Cherry Wine). You can drink it immediately or move it to a Wine Rack or Big Wine Bottle Storage to age further. Aging changes the wine's quality and effects, so keep notes on which fruit and aging time give the results you want.
