==When Consumed==
One of the following effects depending on the symbol seen on the bottle with [[Lord Spookyraven's spectacles]] equipped (first Ascension) or in inventory.  Similar to the [[Dungeons of Doom potion]]s, results change from player to player and with ascension, but always have the same symbol.

==Notes==
*If available, a [[soul monocle]] can be used as a substitute for Lord Spookyraven's spectacles.

==History==
*The "fantastic" result used to give 7-9 adventures. It was nerfed on [[History of Loathing (2007)#August 31, 2007|August 31, 2007]].
*The wine randomization mechanic was mostly removed as a result of the Spookyraven revamp on [[History of Loathing (2014)#May 14, 2014|May 14, 2014]]. Dusty bottles of wine are no longer needed to enter [[The Summoning Chamber]]. Glyphs will still change on ascension, but they no longer give any useful information — the item descriptions now explicitly describe the effects.
*After the Spookyraven revamp on [[History of Loathing (2014)#May 14, 2014|May 14, 2014]], dusty bottles of wine stopped dropping from wine racks and sommeliers. They began dropping again on May 28.

==References==
*The bottle of wine which was "infused with wormwood," and its effect, [[Kiss of the Black Fairy]], probably reference absinthe; a liquor containing wormwood that is commonly referred to as The Green Fairy.
*The bottle of wine that is fantastic and that fact that you drink the whole bottle is probably a reference to the Jonathan Coulton song "I Feel Fantastic".
* Glyphs' notes:
**Glyph One is the sign for intersexuality, which is also the symbol for the [[worthless gewgaw]].
**Glyph Two is (perhaps coincidentally) the Adobe Flash "F" flipped horizontally
**Glyph Five is a lowercase Greek [[Wikipedia:psi (Greek)|psi]].
**Glyph Six is a lowercase Greek [[Wikipedia:theta|theta]].
