Something Working in the Vats
Everyone else who comes through here smells rot. You smell something working. There is a spirit in these vats, thin and half formed and furious about nothing in particular, the way anything is when it has been fermenting in the dark with no one to talk to.
You know how to talk to it. Not well, and not in words, but your people have been on speaking terms with things that live inside other things since long before anyone thought to put grapes in a barrel.
Make a Luck(2) check.
Success: The surface of the near vat goes still while you work, which it has no business doing, and stays still long enough for you to draw off a measure from underneath the stems. What comes out is clear, dark, and carries a shimmer that has nothing to do with the light, some of the vat's luck gone into the bottle along with the spirit. Gain one Clover Potion at no cost.
Failure: Whatever is down there is not in the mood. The mash heaves once, hard, and slaps a wave of pulp over the rim and down your front. No damage, no encounter, just a long walk back smelling like the inside of a barrel.
