Emberbrand Wine

Emberbrand Wine is a Dragonborn wine and quest item from Recipe for Distraction; only eight bottles exist, hidden in a barrel near Raven Rock.

Emberbrand Wine is a wine added in Dragonborn (Dragonborn). It looks exactly like a bottle of Flin, and it first appears as a quest item: a hidden stash of it is at the centre of a small task in Raven Rock.

Effects

One bottle restores 60 Stamina, more than Ale or Ashfire Mead give. In exchange, Stamina regeneration drops by 60% for 120 seconds, a far longer penalty than the 30 seconds of Ale, so it is best saved for moments when a single large refill matters.

Where to find it

During Recipe for Distraction, Captain Veleth sends you to look for a concealed stash of eight bottles in Raven Rock. Walk west out of town, past the blacksmith and the Abandoned Building, and follow the wall along the road. The wine sits in the first barrel on the left, between the remains of two collapsed buildings.

Good to know

  • Once the quest is finished the bottles lose their quest-item status, so you can drink, sell or drop them.
  • The barrel never refills. Those eight bottles are the only Emberbrand Wine you can get.

Where to find it

  • 8 bottles in a barrel west of Raven Rock, found during Recipe for Distraction.
  • The barrel does not respawn.
