Hi @Noxx12
I viewed replay, and here are the move and the situation after creating first wine: imgur.com/a/x6owOd8
You played Zymologist which let make up to 2 wine of value 4 or greater
As first wine you created a 9-value sparkling wine using a 3-value red grape a 4-value red grape and a 4-value white grape
So the only grapes left were a 2-value white grape and a 3-value white grape
So you couldn't make another 4-value or greater wine
I must look at the other comments

Hi @Schwarzdrossel
I viewed replay
And when Schwarzdrossel (red player) played Zymologyst card here the moves: imgur.com/a/4O11NVg
He made a 5-value red wine using a 5-value red grape
He couldn't make a white wine, because He only ha a 3-value white grape and Zymologist card says:"Make up to 2 wines of value 4 or greater..."
So no bugs

Was only able to make a sparking and a blush wine.
Also wines were aged in the cellar even though I had not upgraded the cellar at all.

boardgamearena.com/3/viticulture?table=246569751
Refresh did not solve the problem.
I'm trying to use the Zymologist after playing Planner in spring and having placed my worker on the 'play 2 blue cards' space with the Planner action.
I'm appropriately given the option to select my cards to play, and when I select Zymologist it says 'Choose wine to make [Refuse] [Cancel]' at the top of the screen. But none of my wine-making spots are activated and I can't do anything except Refuse or Cancel. I have plenty of grapes that should allow me to make wine.
This is the first time I've seen this problem and have not tried to replicate it.

Table #275107213
Move #269
I have the same issue. I have refreshed multiple times, and tried on my Iphone and PC. I played the summer visitor planner card to place a worker on the winter visitor bonus spot (play two winter visitors at the start of the winter). Now it is the beginning of winter and I'm trying to play Zymologist. I have a medium cellar (which should be irrelevant). For grapes I have white-4, white-3, and red-2, so I have grapes to make a white-4 wine, and blush-5. I have space in my cellar for the wines. When I click on "Zymologist" it says "Choose a wine to make" BUT the little yellow squares that normally appear in the cellar do not appear, and no matter where I click it won't let me choose a wine to make.

Jul 12th 2022 17:58 • TheAncient001 • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:
Perhaps this bug has something to do with the fact that it is at the VERY beginning of Winter, BEFORE the first player has placed a worker?

Update: Because of this bug I gave up trying to use Zymologist when I really needed it (before using the second winter visitor from the bonus) prior to anyone else taking a turn.
Later in the winter, when it was too late, Zymologist worked fine as shown in this Imgur photo. I’m convinced it’s a bug triggered by the combo of PLANNER and ZYMOLOGIST .

Flying Cangaroo, you are not experiencing the bug at all. You have to select the grapes you want to use first, same as making any wine.
