Spiced Wine

Spiced Wine is Evette San’s family-recipe wine from Solitude, restoring 25 Stamina and found in many places across Skyrim.

Spiced Wine is the specialty of Evette San, who sells it in Solitude. According to Evette it is a family recipe that nobody else even tries to copy, and the label on the bottle reads “San’s Spiced Wine”. Despite that, it is a common drink that turns up all over Skyrim, and it is cheap at 7 gold.

Effects

  • Restores 25 Stamina.
  • Stamina regenerates 30% slower for 50 seconds.

It refills more Stamina than most wines for very little money, which makes it a good bottle to carry before a long climb or a fight.

Where to find it

  • Sold by certain merchants, Evette San among them, and also found as random loot.
  • Two bottles as a reward from Evette for The Spiced Wine.
  • Two more when you talk to her during the festival after Tending the Flames.
  • Six bottles in Sybille Stentor‘s room in the Blue Palace (stealing).
  • On a shelf in the bedroom wing of Hearthfire homesteads.
  • Several in the Winking Skeever, Solitude, and more in Castle Dour’s Emperor’s Tower.
  • One in Castle Volkihar (Dawnguard), in the room with the Bloodstone Chalice.

Good to know

There is also a matching empty wine bottle that carries the San’s Spiced Wine label. For other bottles, see Wine and Alto Wine.
