Wine of Zamorak

The Wine of zamorak can be found north-west of the Goblin Village in a temple dedicated to Zamorak. It takes approximately 17.4 seconds to respawn on a full world; it depends on the amount of players in a world.

Wine of zamorak cannot be consumed. There are two ways to obtain the Wine of zamorak:
 * Using hands (with or without the monks seeing you attempt the theft, the Flames Of Zamorak spell will burn you dishing out at least 30~40 damage but a player dealt Flames Of Zamorak can deal up to 100's of damage)
 * Using Telekinetic Grab (level 33+ Magic) you need 1 air rune and law rune to cast telekinetic grab

Players can only take the wine with their bare hands if all the Monks of Zamorak are dead or out of the temple and facing away from the inner temple so they cannot see the theft occur.

A good way to get to and from the temple is to get a big load of Goblin Village orbs from Oldak (the quest Another Slice of H.A.M. is required) then when your inventory is full, teleport to Camelot, since it requires 5 air runes (which should be provided from your air staff) and one law rune, which you should have in your inventory, then go to the Seers' Village bank and repeat.

If a player casts telekinetic grab but another player is faster, then that player will not only lose the wine but also the runes it took to cast the spell, although they still gain the normal amount of XP given. Players are recommended to bring an air staff, a large amount of law runes, and an emergency water rune for Falador Teleport (or an Explorer's ring 3).



Using bare hands while grabbing the wine will result in a 7.5% reduction in all combat-related stats; using telegrab will NOT result in aforementioned reductions or penalties. The Protect from Magic prayer is useless in shielding from the reduction. For every 13 current points of a stat, 1 point is drained, though over level 40 only 3 points will be drained. The Monks of Zamorak nearby will also attack the player and reduce some of the player's combat stats occasionally. Reduced stats return at approximately one per minute. If no monk is present, the wine can be taken but the stats would still be drained. In the text box, a message will say: "STOP STEALING MY WINE! GAH!"



If a player has a Saradomin pet, it must be fully grown and in the POH Menagerie. Otherwise, the wine can NOT be telegrabbed or even stolen; not even on a F2P world. This is not true with a Guthix pet.

The wines are used solely as an ingredient in ranging potions, which members can make using the Herblore skill. Members may also obtain the Wine of zamorak from a fairly common Kalphite Queen drop (in noted form). It can also able to be obtained as a noted drop in the Zamorak boss room in God Wars Dungeon from the minions.

If you do not plan on using telegrab, one easy way is to have at least medium level combat stats and level 37 prayer. Since there is an altar right next to you, simply turn on the prayers Protect from melee, rapid heal, rapid restore, and whatever boosts to the particular combat method that you can. Since you will be praying against the mage attacks of the monks, which can hit up to 80, they still may hit up to 30 life points with melee, but with a high defence level, this is lowered.

Price history
During Runescape Classic, the price of wine varied a lot from 1000 to 3000 coins. After the big graphical update, the price fell to about 600 coins. Then it steadily increased to about 1800 to 2000 coins by the end of 2010. It then steadily fell to below 1400 by the mid-February of 2011. Since free trade was reintroduced in February 1st of the same year, the amount bots increased rapidly for competing over wine spawn. This caused the price of wine to skyrocket above 3000 coins within a month.

Trivia

 * Before gravestones and the warning message, the Wine of zamorak was a popular item used by advanced players to kill new players in the Chaos Temple. They would usually tell the new player to grab the wine, then they would trap the player by closing the door, eventually letting the monks kill them. When the player was dead, the advanced player would take the items of the dead player.
 * Jagex made the door at the Chaos Temple unclosable to prevent players from getting trapped inside (a trick often used in scams, like the one above).
 * The "z" in the item's "zamorak" is not capitalised. The "z" is capitalised in the monks' names. This is unusual, as the term "Zamorak" is a name and should be capitalised.
 * If players put a Wine of zamorak back in the place he/she took it from and try to pick it up, they will be hurt as if it had just respawned. This only works on the exact spot where the wine respawns, the side of the table next to the wine does not cause you to be hurt, due to the game engine not being able to distinguish a respawned Wine of zamorak from one placed there by a player.
 * The "STOP STEALING MY WINE! GAH!" is actually Zamorak speaking himself, as revealed from one of the god letters. Apparently, Zamorak damages the player, though no Guthixian notices him interfering with humans.
 * In the Brazilian Runescape, Zamorak Wine is called "Suco de uva de Zamorak", translated as Zamorak Grape Juice, since Brazilian Laws do not allow names of alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, ...)
 * There are myths circulating that through turning on prayers such as Mystic lore, the chances of receiving the wine via telegrab will increase. However, the magic level of a player does NOT determine the chance of who gets to receive the wine first; as long as said player has level 33 Magic, the chances ARE equal. The ONLY factors that will affect your chances of receiving the wine among competition is the speed of your internet connection, GPU/CPU, and the ping of the server in which you are located within—less lag allows for a higher reaction timing. That being said, while it may seem like two players have the same reaction time, RuneScape's server includes its own special time, which factors in split microseconds, so it is practically impossible for two players to receive the wine at the same time. This is unofficially confirmed that it is possible for both players to receive the wine though has only been known to be done very rarely.
 * Using Telekinetic Grab to take the Wine is often used by F2P Players to make money due to the differences in the price of Law runes and Wine of zamorak.
 * Despite Zamorak being a god, he cannot harm the player when they cast telegrab on the wine.
 * Strangely, the rugs in the temple feature black Saradomin stars.
