By the use of this spell, a priest may speed the fermentation process of any naturally fermentable vegetable matter (grapes, potatoes, wheat, etc.). Within one hour, all contents of the container will be completely fermented as if the full year (or whatever the necessary time period is) has passed. The priest must be careful to make sure that all other preparations have been made to hold the newly fermented liquid. There must be vats, bottles and anything else that is necessary for the preservation of the alcohol.
The priest must already be knowledgeable about the processes involved with fermentation, know the time necessary to ferment the grapes (or whatever), and know the alcohol-making processes before casting this spell (the character must have a proper nonweapon proficiency).
The material component is a bit of already fermented material.
