AnswerThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
How do you fix the stuck Wine is Sacred quest in The Witcher 3 Remastered?
Short answer
Load a save from before the bug hit. The Remastered update fixed a bug that could block Wine is Sacred if you fast traveled out of Toussaint while "Search the wine cellar with Anna Henrietta" was active. CD Projekt says that fix is not retroactive, and later patch notes don't say whether already stuck saves get repaired.
What blocked the quest
The quest could stop progressing if you left Toussaint by fast travel while the objective “Search the wine cellar with Anna Henrietta” was active. The Remastered update, released on 29 September 2026, fixed that, and CD Projekt listed the fix in the notes it posted on 28 September.
If your save is already stuck
Go back to a save from before the bug happened, which means before that fast travel out of Toussaint. CD Projekt says the Remastered fix is not retroactive, so it doesn’t undo the bug on a save that already hit it.
Patch 5.01 (8 October 2026) added general measures for saves that a save-data bug may already have affected, but its notes don’t name Wine is Sacred, so it isn’t known whether they free a quest that is already stuck.
The Witcher wiki describes a different stall, without saying which version it applies to: if you abandon the escort before the panthers and fast travel, the quest waits until you travel to Castel Ravello yourself.
Version and platform notes
Checked against CD Projekt’s patch notes on Steam, up to patch 5.01 (8 October 2026). They list the Wine is Sacred fix without naming a platform, so this page doesn’t say whether consoles got it at the same time.

Did patch 5.01 fix Wine is Sacred?
The fix came earlier, with the Remastered update itself: CD Projekt listed it in the notes it posted on 28 September 2026. Patch 5.01 (8 October 2026) added general measures for saves a save-data bug may already have affected, but its notes don't name this quest.
Will the fix repair a save where the quest is already stuck?
Don't count on it. CD Projekt says the Remastered fix is not retroactive and points players who hit the bug to a save from before it happened. Patch 5.01's general save measures don't mention this quest.
What part of the game is Wine is Sacred in?
Blood and Wine. It is one of that expansion's main quests.
