"It's definitely magical," he said, setting it down carefully. "I can't tell any more than that right now - I'd have to examine it back at the vineyard, and maybe consult with Father."<br/><br/>He turned his attention to the bronze cup, and sniffed it carefully. He blinked rapidly and took another sniff, then very carefully dipped a spoon into it and watched the way the liquid flowed when he raised it up and poured it back into the cup. "No, that's impossible..." he murmured. "How could this be?" He turned to Erin. "It's an elixir of youth! It could take half a century off someone's shoulders! If we gave this to Soveliss, it could make him a young man again!" He paused in his babbling and took another sniff of the wine. "Maybe not<em>young</em>again, not back to my age, but younger, certainly."<br/><br/>Quarion knelt down by the table to examine the wooden cup. He scooped up a tiny drop with another utensil and dripped it onto a leaf, observing the way it interacted with plant material. "This one appears to be a ward against disease, making the drinker practically immune to infection for a day and a night." He shuddered for a moment. "That's great, but... does whoever made this wine know something about the near future that we don't?"<br/><br/>He looked up at Erin. "The fox led you here, so I can only assume you're supposed to take them, or maybe just one. I trust you to use them wisely... just let me watch and take notes when they're drunk, alright? This is magical wine of the highest order... I<em>must</em>understand how it works!" With reluctance, he stood up and stepped away from the table. "The elixir of youth seems very stable - it could be kept for a hundred years without fading or spoiling. The disease ward should keep for a year or so. I have some empty bottles if you want to transport them safely."
