Doing some basic math, if each option on the VS gives 2 CP, and you need 7 levels before you cash out, that's 14 actions, right there. 14 actions to get 7 Broken Giant, or 28 actions to get 70 Absinthe. However, since Absinthe turns into Giant at a 5:1 ratio, 70 Absinthe equals 14 Giant. Both of these have a rate of 2 Actions/Giant. (Well, okay, not really since Absinthe needs to be converted up but I mean c'mon it's only a single action)
Grinding Greyfields via Unfinished Business nets you 50 per action. Grinding 1500 and converting them up will take 33 actions, and will net you 10 Giants and 10 Absinthe. That's 2.75 Actions/Giant.
Well ... looks like you only want to do this once, so no fractional results ...
With VS, you need 14 actions to get *to* level 7, then 1 action more to get 7 giants, for 2.14 acions/giant.
With absinthe, you need 28 actions to get 70 absinthe, and then (since they convert in multiples of 50) 1 action to convert them to 10 giants + 20 absinthe, at 2.9 actions/giant (or, with repeated conversions, (28+70/50)/(10*70/50)=2.1 actions/giant - slightly better than VS, and you get over an echo worth of sideeffects from each conversion action)
Just grinding 1500 greyfields is 30 actions, converting up gets you 315 morelways in 3 actions, converting those up 50:10 is 6 actions for 60 absinthe (and 15 morelways), converting that up is 1 actions for 10 giants and 10 absinthe: 4 actions/giant (and some sideprofits),
.. or with repeated conversions: 33 actions for 315 morelways, then (500:105) 0.63 actions for 66.15 absinthe, then 1.323 actions for 13.23 giants: 34.953/13.23 = 2.642 actions/giant
But that's all assuming 100% successes on stat challenges.
Also don't forget that converting wines up consumes connected:church. Not much of it, but some.
