11 Contraband Wine is a bulk cargo item used by Windrose's merchant trade system. Cargo crates are picked up cheap at one faction port and sold for a higher price at a port that wants them, with the price difference set by Merchant Contracts that refresh on a daily cycle. As a Contraband-class good it is associated with the Smugglers of Port Royal, and like all Trade Goods it is heavy by design, so trade routes are planned around what a particular ship class can move in one trip.

88 Hand in to a Faction Merchants Buyer at a faction port for the day's posted price, or use it as a turn-in for a Merchant Contracts delivery quest for a fixed reward in Guinea. Contraband sells to the Smugglers of Port Royal Buyer rather than at Tortuga, which has no central treasure buyer. Spot prices in faction ports usually beat contract prices for small inventories, while contracts are better for ten-plus stacks.

1212 Contraband is one of the higher-paying good families in the smuggler economy, which makes Smuggler runs among the most efficient Piastres routes in the game. The table compares it with related goods sold to faction buyers. Treat per-item figures as a guide; daily contract demand and current patch values shift the exact payout.

1818 Contraband Wine matters most when planning turn-ins and inventory space for a smuggler route. Treat the buyer and good-family tables as the key facts, then compare it with the linked Luxuries and faction pages before deciding whether to keep it, sell it immediately, or save it for a larger turn-in haul.
