A drinkable large wine bottle with Strength. minecraft:strength
Increases melee attack damage while the effect lasts.
Java and Bedrock
Java effect
Strength
Increases melee attack damage while the effect lasts.
Bedrock effect
The server applies the same registered effect. Custom effect icons and visual feedback may differ from Java.
Drink or display it
- Hold the bottle and hold your use control for about 1.6 seconds: right-click on Java, or the assigned interact/use control on Bedrock.
- Drinking consumes one wine and returns a
Wine Bottle in Survival. Wine is for its effect; this item restores no hunger. - To display a bottle instead, sneak and use it on a suitable surface, or put it in compatible wine storage. Avoid holding use when you only mean to place or retrieve it.
Duration and aging
With the default aging settings, a newly stamped bottle starts at 90 seconds. Each wine year adds 10 seconds, up to 12 minutes 30 seconds. One wine year is 24 server game days.
Strength gains one upgrade per 6 wine years, up to five upgrades. These rules are saved into the bottle when it is first stamped; older bottles and changed server settings can differ. A rack is not required for aging and does not speed it up.
Check the bottle’s age and effect information in game. It is server game time, not real-world calendar days. Aging changes the duration/strength of Bedrock’s replacement effect where one is listed above.
Brewing equipment and ingredients
Use a 
Fermentation Barrel. Make the required juice with a 
Apple Press. Neither stage needs furnace fuel. A fermentation cycle takes 300 seconds at base settings.
- Juice: 20 fluid units of
Apple Juice. One juice bottle supplies 25 units. - 1 ×
Sugar - Empty container: 1 × Wine Bottle
Load the juice into the barrel’s juice input, put the listed ingredients in its three ingredient slots, and leave the output free. Add an empty bottle when required. See the barrel’s Java/Bedrock slot guide.
Drinking does not open a menu on either client. When brewing, use the corresponding barrel interface:
Java brewing screen
Bedrock brewing screen
Slot guide: 1 — bottled juice; 2–4 — ingredients; 5 — empty or recovered Wine Bottle; 6 — wine output. Progress and reservoir indicators show the current process.

Bottle storage
Large bottles fit a 
Oak Wine Rack. Small-only racks and the Wine Box do not accept this size. Storage preserves the wine; it does not brew another batch.
