Nirnroot WineEdit

When first entering the Winery, you can hear him exclaim, "Ah, a hero! My troubles are over!"

"I greet you, wayfarer. Doubtless you have come for my renowned Nirnroot wine. I grieve to say that I have no more at present."
You're all out?
"Indeed, that is my saddest of fates. I lack just one essential ingredient—Red Mountain Ash. But alas, I cannot leave my shop to gather it. But perhaps you, brave one, might aid me?"
How?
"It would be the simplest of tasks for one such as yourself. Tuffs of Red Mountain Ash crowd the delightful shores of Lake Rumare. Gather ash for me, and the blessings of Akatosh will rain down upon your head!"
I'll do it.

If spoken to before gathering the ash:

"Good journey to you, warrior. I thank the Divines for sending you to me. Hasten to Lake Rumare and gather Red Mountain Ash. Return as soon as you can. Beware others who also seek the ash. Slay them to ease your task."
What else can you tell me about Nirnroot wine?
"Much I do know but little will I tell. Secrecy is a sad necessity, for the envious yearn to steal the recipe for the most exquisite of wines. My customers must be spared from the imitations brewed by charlatans."
Who are these charlatans?
"Their names would soil your ears, wayfarer, and I will not utter them. Know only that their intent is dishonorable, stealing the recipe for this finest of wines from its rightful owner. Their wines are pale imitations of the one true Nirnroot wine."
What does Nirnroot wine taste like?
"Some say it tastes like the blessed tears of Zeht, if one can imagine those upon one's tongue. Some say the taste cannot be described, only experienced. I merely pass along the words of others, as I never sample my wares."

Once you return:

"My heart lightens to see you again, friend. How did you fare?"
I have the ash you wanted.
"Zeht's blessings upon you! Soon Nirnroot wine shall fill my casks and customers will flock to my brewery again.
Accept these offerings in thanks, friend."

When spoken to after the quest:

"Nirnroot wine flows again, thanks to you. May the Divines ease your path, wherever you travel!"
What else can you tell me about Nirnroot wine?
"Much do I know but little will I tell. Secrecy is a sad necessity, for the envious yearn to steal the recipe for the most exquisite of wines. My customers must be spared from the imitations brewed by charlatans."
What does Nirnroot wine taste like?
"In truth, I cannot say. I have never been able to taste the wine, though I have crafted many bottles of it. Some claim to have tasted it, but I fear the truth is not in them."
No one has ever tasted it?
"I am convinced not. The wine ensorcels us all. It stays in its bottle, making its owner think he has imbibed, preserving itself forever. No customer ever needs a second bottle of Nirnroot wine, more's the pity."
