Probably Stolen AgeWell Machine: Age Wine Faster
Put up to 6 bottles of finished, genuine wine into the AgeWell and power it (24 energy). Every powered night adds at least one extra aging step on top of natural aging, and each step raises a bottle’s base value by 3. Every 125 raw quality adds one more step per night.

Making wine to age
- 01
Follow the fermenting guide
Fill a bottle with about 749 ml of mixture plus an ingredient, as the in-game BloomBerry Wine Fermenting Guide shows. Only illegal yeast lets you skip the ingredient.
- 02
Use clean water and healthy berries
Berry count alone does not set quality. Clean water grows better BloomBerries, and healthy plants give fewer mouldy or unripe berries.
- 03
Wait for fermentation to finish
The AgeWell only accepts completed real wine. It refuses counterfeit wine and ordinary unfinished bottles.
- 04
Keep it powered
An empty or underpowered AgeWell does nothing that night.
Good to know
Multiple yeast powers do not add together. Fridges reject ordinary wine bottles, so storage for aged wine is shelves and bays.
BloomBerries come from BloomBerry Seeds (40 Credits) in a Hydroponic System; the bush is perennial and refruits after 10 work.
Common questions
What does the AgeWell machine do in Probably Stolen?
It ages up to 6 bottles of real wine by at least one extra day per powered night, adding +3 base value per step.
Why will the AgeWell not accept my wine?
It only takes completed, genuine wine. Counterfeit wine and unfinished fermentation are refused.
Can you make wine with other food?
The recipe needs about 749 ml of mixture and one ingredient; the in-game guide is written for BloomBerries. Test other ingredients with a single bottle first.
