Wine comes in
four cask sizes: one tun (252 gallons) equals two butts, four
hogsheads or eight barrels. But since the Merriman Brothers
specialize only in the rare and the best, they sell in only the
smaller two sizes of casks: Barrels at 70 GP each and Hogsheads
at 120 GP each (average of all varieties sold). The Brothers
direct all stages of the wine making, from supervising their
vineyardist, hiring grape stompers, vat aging to selling. They
also import fine wines from far off places. Secret room off
basement holds nine barrels of Elven wine. The full
winery-vats, storage, etc., is located mostly underground near
Sunwatch but about 100 barrels are stored here for quicker
service to the City's elite. |
