In the widely popular Facebook game, Farmville, you have the chance to add another dimension to your farm by adding a crafting build. One of the selections you can make is the Winery, which produces everything from white grape coolers to spicy tomato juice. 

Here are a few tips on how to have a successful run at your Winery.

Know What You Can Make

When the Winery was first introduced, you were able to create a variety of alcoholic drinks. Eventually changes were made because some felt it was encouraging drinking to those playing the game.

 Here is the current list of drinks available to your Winery in Farmville; Sweet Energy Drink, White Grape Cooler, Rich Grape Juice, Fruit Punch, Spicy Tomato Juice, Spiced Lilac Tea, Blackberry Explosion, Strawberry Cranberry Juice, Raspberry Energy Drink.

Focus on Key Resources

Just like with anything, each of the drinks above are made with a combination of ingredients.  It is imperative to know which resources you need to be able to great any of the available drinks.

The last thing you want to do is to spend your time farming items that your Winery can not use. Instead you can make sure you are only farming the items you will need to obtain bushels from for your recipes.

Visit your Neighbors

While we all would like to be independent and not need the help of others, to have a successful winery, you need to rely upon your neighbors for additional resource support. It is not always easy to acquire the right number of bushels for the recipes.

 It is important to spend the time to visit the nearby stalls to see if they have anything you can use. Make sure you are also buying their crafted goods when they have them up for purchase.

Not only will you help create a business relationship with them, you will see they are more apt to buy the goods from you when they come looking for those special drinks.

Sell the Goods

Though it is enjoyable to spend time crafting the various drinks for your Winery, we need to remember in the end it is about the profit we make.

You want to make sure you are producing high quality goods that your neighbors will want to buy. The last thing you want to do is to be stuck with a variety of low level drinks that no one wants to spend their hard earned money on.

 The important thing to remember when it comes to your Winery or anything in Farmville, your success is only a matter of much attention you are willing to give to it.
