Before you make Blood Merlot in V Rising you'll have to unlock its recipe. You will get the recipe as a reward for beating Baron du Bouchon the Sommelier. The Baron is a level 70 Blood Boss and can be found around Silverlight Hills. However, if you're struggling to defeat the enemies in the area, you will surely struggle to defeat the boss.

So, it's best to level up until you can efficiently deal with the fodder before you take on Baron du Bouchon the Sommelier. Since you're preparing to fight a boss it's best to get Radium Alloy for any upgrades or new weapons. Once the Baron has been defeated, aside from Blood Merlot in V Rising, you will also get Barrel Disguises and a Blood Merlot Amulet as rewards.

Now you are ready to make Blood Merlot in V Rising. To start making Blood Merlot, you need a prisoner. You can do so by placing a Prison Cell in your castle and trapping an enemy inside it.
