The way I’ve been grinding wine is to just do Lyme’s Pygmalion storylet over and over and mass-converting Glim->Map Scrap->Zee-Stories into Absinthe. It also grants Making Waves that way.

I thiiiink you might be better off with stealing Tales of Terror and converting them to Absinthe

Is that faster than Velocipede Squad for Broken Giant?

When I asked awhile ago, people recommended doing the Affair of the Box for whatever wines reward it was.

Note: You lose 197.4 Echoes from converting the Greyfields 1882, and 287.4 Echoes from converting the Greyfields 1879 from the bottom to the top.

I just did the math comparing Affair of the Box to Riding the Savage Cobbles. They are almost the same:
RtSC: 15 actions for 7 Broken Giant 1844
AotB: 15 actions for 7 Broken Giant 1844 plus 5 Intriguing Gossip or, on a rare success, 2 Uncanny Incunabulum. (And -5 CP Church.)
So yeah, as others already had shown but I decided doing it out was lazier than trying to find the proofs, the Box is the way to go. :)
