Bacchus's Wine



Bacchus's Wine, or Bacchus's Cider, is a recurring supportive item in the Final Fantasy series. It gives the user a status, usually Berserk.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
The Bacchus Wine inflicts Berserk on one target.

Final Fantasy V
Though not usable outside of battle, Bacchus' Wine is a Mix result, achieved by mixing a Holy Water and Turtle Shell, and gives the target the Berserk status.

Final Fantasy XII
Bacchus's Wine has 50% chance of inflicting the target with Berserk. It can be purchased from all shops for 120 gil after reaching certain points in the story.

Three can be obtained from the bazaar by selling Tyrant Hide x2. Two are given as a reward for defeating the Elite Mark Behemoth King. One is given as a reward from Montblanc for defeating Fury. Varying amounts can be won as prizes from the Balfonheim Port Footrace. It can be dropped from Great Malboro, Serpent, Necrophobe, Cassie, Reaver, High Reaver and Bangaa Pirate. It can be stolen from Bomb, Danbania, Bull Danbania, Hybrid Gator and Gizamaluk. It can be poached from Wyvern and Bell Wyvern. It can be found in treasure coffers in the Mosphoran Highwaste.

The "Behemoth" class enemies are fond of using the item to inflict Berserk on themselves, making their attacks even more devastating.

In the International Zodiac Job System version, the item is guaranteed to inflict the Berserk status to the target unless the target is immune to it, making it effective against enemies that spam spells, like Ixion.

Final Fantasy XIV
Bacchus's wine is a legendary wine relevant to the quest "It Won't Work" at Wineport and a few quests thereafter. It is made from Bacchus Grapes, a hybrid of various grape species. The Calamity nearly eradicated the wine, grapes and all, and only a few bottles remain. Having been struck blind in a battle with Titan, Shamani Lohmani found renewed purpose upon tasting the wine, and now devotes his life to wine making.

Final Fantasy Tactics
Bacchus Wine is not an item, but is mentioned in the errand "Lilith's Libation":
