The Wizard of Wines is a vineyard and winery to the south of Kresk. It is owned and operated by the Martikov Family and in particular Davian Martikov, the patriarch of the family. Unusually, Davian and his progeny are all wereravens. Perhaps even more unusually, the Martikovs provide the wine to the taverns of Barovia[1] (including the Blude Water Inn in Vallaki, also owned by a Martikov[2]) without payment because they know that the joy of wine is one of the few things Barovians can rely up to help them suffer through their existences.[1]

Associated Wines

Three wines are associated with the Wizard[1] :

  • Purple Grapemash No. 3, the cheapest and most unspectacular wine
  • Red Dragon Crush, a step up in price and taste from the Purple Grapesmash
  • Champagne du le Stomp, a spectacular and expensive brand that is made all the more rare for the fact that the gem needed for its creation was stolen two years before the time of the module (that is, 733 BC by the module's timeline)
