Let me walk you through making serious money with starfruit wine, because this is one of the most profitable ventures you can pursue. You'll want to start by getting those starfruit seeds from sandy's shop in the oasis (make sure you've fixed the bus first), and while 400g per seed might seem steep, trust me - the payoff is worth it.

The growing part is interesting, because you've actually got two solid approaches here. During summer you're looking at 13 days for outdoor crops, but if you're thinking long-term, the greenhouse with deluxe speed-gro brings that down to 9 days (this is particularly useful since you can grow year-round). I always tell my fellow farmers that kegging is where the magic really happens, because that's when your 750g starfruit transforms into something special.

Now here's where it gets particularly fascinating - the aging process, which is honestly where the real profit multipliers kick in. Your basic wine starts at 3,150g with the artisan profession, but patience in the cellar really pays off. We're talking 56 days to reach iridium quality, which bumps the value up to a whopping 6,300g per bottle! A good way to remember the progression: silver at 14 days, gold at 28, and iridium at 56

For maximum efficiency, you'll want about 8 kegs for every cask you're running, because that keeps your production line flowing smoothly. Some farmers might tell you ancient fruit is better for the long haul, and they're not wrong, but starfruit still holds the crown for pure profit per bottle. Just remember - a well-planned cellar with 125 casks can net you nearly 800,000g every two months, once you've got everything running like clockwork.
