Speak with Casper and Havel

Begin "In Vino Veritas" by meeting Casper Rudolf at his drink cart on Kuttenberg City's east side. Enter via the east gate and head straight to find him. He seeks the secret behind the monks' superior wine, but several tasks must be completed first. Fully explore dialogue options with Casper to learn about Havel and a book left with Adleta. This opens up different approaches to impressing Havel in the initial phase.

To retrieve the book from Adleta, visit the garden in Kuttenberg’s southeast inner wall during morning or afternoon hours. Collect five Marigolds beforehand. Meet Adleta before her brother Hugo arrives, or get Hugo’s approval to speak with her. Stay courteous during the conversation, requesting the book for Casper. Pass a skill check to convince her, or offer the Marigolds as a gift to secure the book. Read it from your inventory once obtained.

You can skip the book and go directly to Havel, who runs an inn in Kuttenberg City. Hone your drinking skills and wear attire boosting your Charisma to at least 18. Then, engage Havel at the inn, choosing these dialogue options:

These choices impress Havel, and he reveals the monastery’s secret ingredient. Report back to Casper with this information.

Find the Monastery’s Secret Ingredient

Head to the vineyard north of Kuttenberg and speak with the recruiter to begin the "Under the Straw Hat" side quest. Starting avoids trespassing issues, allowing free exploration of the vineyard. Locate Jerome on a bench near the main building for the next steps.

Sneak into the main building, turn left, and enter the storeroom. Use lockpicking to open chests and find Sulphur Wicks, which Casper needs. For extra Groschen, collect five seedlings from the garden behind the main building before leaving.
