Wine and Song was introduced as a featured weapon in version 1.4 as an event wish exclusive 4 Star Weapon. With Energy Recharge as its secondary stat, this weapon is good on characters that focus on Burst Damage. Its design points towards it being good on Mona, as she not only benefits from Energy Recharge and its Hydro Damage bonus conversion, but also alternates a lot between Normal Attacks and Sprinting in her playstyle. The lore of this book is the love story of the Blue-Eyed Spear Witch and Parsifal. It is a testimony – one that gave hope to the ones that suffered from the aristocrats. Although a justful thief like Parsifal isn’t needed anymore, the story still stands strong, even if there is no one to mention it anymore.

How to get Wine and Song in Genshin Impact?
Wine and Song is an event exclusive 4 Star weapon and it means that the only way to obtain this weapon is by wishing on a banner which features this weapon. However, unlike a 5 star weapon, which can be obtained for sure by charting an Epitomized Path, there is no way to guarantee Wine and Song. But there is a chance that you might get this weapon every 10 pulls from the last 4 star or 5 star weapon.

Story
An elegantly bound songbook, it was once fashionable in the days of the ruling aristocracy.
An indelible scent of daisies and finely-aged wine wafts from within its pages.
Its contents are rather absurd, but it was once a popular tune in the alleys and taverns.
"Everyone knows that drunken gentleman thief, though no one knows where he's from. One fine day — When? No one can say — he appeared like a ghost in our slum."
"He sings, he drinks, he wanders the streets, he passes the roofs and terraces by. But everyone knows he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny."
"The sword by his side was a great house's pride, and he stole it from where it'd been lain, and the bow so black that he wears on his back fires never once in vain."
"His matchless skill rings chill in the night like a comet's flashing tail, and his strides are as light as Favonius' flight, and the leaves that behold him quail."
"He could slake the entire Cider Lake, were it all filled with Death After Noon. And then he'd creep right up to those pigs at midnight, while they're all fast asleep in their rooms."
"He robs the rich and pays the poor, he blows noble farts away, he throws a spark into the dark, and night is pierced by day."
"The maidens all dream of the gentleman thief, they pine after him from their windows, but sad to say, he passes not that way, he prefers a pint with his fellows."
"Till on one day (or was it dusk?) in a mansion he ran amok, took he with him a thief's full due, and an extra silver cup."
"Left he silently in the moon's silver light, when fey were his eyes set ablaze, he lifted them nigh to a warm window bright, and upon a lovely face he gazed."
"Her eyes they shone like sapphire stones, so blue did they gleam in the dark, and the thief glanced up to the gem in his cup, and he thought them the same in his heart."
"Losing no time, the thief made his climb, and prying the gem from its place, he gave it to her, and a bashful smile stirred, and crept up upon her face."
"When at last they toppled the indolent nobles, they left, distant lands to explore, and so the song says, they warmed each other's days with light forevermore."
The story ends here. In the latter days of righteous governance, there are none left who sing of the gentleman thief, nor are such thieves needed anymore.
Wine and swords, maidens and heroes, a carefree opening and a happy ending, this vulgar sort of tale tends to be popular with the people.
For no matter how the real story went, or how the two truly ended up, wine and songs brim with hope.
They give the unfortunate a little courage to face tomorrow, and stand up to the powers that oppress them...
Trivia
- In the closed beta test, Wine and Song had a similar ability to Lithic Spear in Liyue where it increased damage for every character that hailed from Mondstat.
- Although the lore of the book states a happy ending, it is actually quite tragic.
- Wine and Song is the only 4 Star Catalyst that provides stamina reduction of any kind.
FAQs
Is Wine and Song Good?
While Wine and Song is a very unique weapon due to its passive, it is very niche as well. There are not many characters that can fully utilize it well. While it is good on Mona, there are much better options out there for her as well. However, it can open up a new playstyle for the character and make the game more fun. Apart from that, Wine and Song is not a recommended weapon generally.
How do you get Wine and Song?
Wine and Song is an event exclusive 4 Star weapon. This means that the only way to obtain this weapon is by wishing for it in banners where it is featured. There is no other way to obtain it as of now.
Is Wine and Song a good weapon for Kokomi?
While Prototype Amber, a free craftable weapon generally gives better damage and healing to Kokomi, Wine and Song can be pretty good as well. However, due to its niche usage, it will be pretty difficult to manage her consistent dps.
Final Thoughts
Wine and Song is a strong weapon with decent Base ATK as well as Energy Recharge Secondary Stat, making this weapon good for focused characters. The passive of the weapon also provides ATK buff, adding further damage to your Base ATK. Although a niche weapon, it can be pretty useful if you trigger the effects by timing it. While not being the best, it can be useful in its own way as a DPS or Burst DPS weapon.
