A Venerable Vintage is a quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Nerussa at the Wawnet Inn is a wine collector, and will pay handsomely for the rare Shadowbanish Wine. An alchemist who was also a vintner created the wine for the Imperial Legion soldiers who were posted at the forts dotting the countryside. The wine not only tasted good but also granted Night-Eye, making it useful for the night watch.
Shadowbanish Wine Locations[]
There are eighteen bottles of Shadowbanish Wine in total, one or two in each of the following locations.
- Fort Aurus; There is a chest containing two bottles at the northeast side in the very back room of the dungeon.
- Fort Carmala; There is a chest containing two bottles deep into the dungeons.
- Fort Dirich; Deep down in the dungeon guarded by a specter, there are two bottles in a crate between the wall and the raised coffin in the middle of the hall.
- Fort Grief; There is a chest with a hard lock containing two bottles in the outside top level of this fort.
- Fort Irony; There are two bottles in a chest in a room where there are two entrances to that cave section.
- Fort Magia; There are two bottles towards the end of the dungeon trawl in a passageway of the Garrison Blocks.
- Fort Scinia; There are two bottles straight ahead as one goes through the door into the Hall of Legends area of the dungeon.
- Fort Vlastarus; There is a chest containing two bottles behind a pillar in one of the rooms.
- Frostcrag Spire; One bottle on the wine rack in the storage area.

I've spoken to Nerussa, the publican at the Wawnet Inn just outside the Imperial City. She's searching for a rare wine named Shadowbanish Wine that she says is most commonly found in fort ruins. She tells me if I retrieve six bottles, I'll be well compensated. Looks like I'll need to keep a careful eye out. |
I've come across a bottle of wine with markings I've never seen before. I can barely make out "Shadowbanish Wine" on the label. It must be quite valuable. I should hold onto it until I find out more. |
I've recovered six bottles of Shadowbanish Wine. I should bring them back to Nerussa at the Wawnet Inn for my final reward. |
I've given six bottles of Shadowbanish Wine to Nerussa. In return, she paid me a large finder's fee of 1000 gold. She also told me if I find any more bottles of the wine, she'd gladly pay me 100 gold each for them.
