📋 About This Mod
Thank you for taking time to try out this mod and your endorsement.
What is this mod This mod adds the glass refraction and transparency to the 10 wine bottles in the game. The bottle with liquid inside will show the light reflection that simulates waves. I used the Skyrim's vanilla effects/fxwatertile01.dds file for the animation, so I'm hoping someone with more texture expert to create the water ripple animation like one from the Jurassic Park movie.
The water texture is wineliquid.dds, and it's in the textures/clutter/wine directory.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 939 endorsements and nearly 19k downloads.
- Adds a subtle but noticeable realism boost to wine bottles.
- Lightweight and simple—no complex dependencies or scripts.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—may be incompatible with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only affects wine bottles, so the visual change is limited in scope.
For Skyrim players who appreciate small environmental details and want more realistic bottle visuals. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or immersion-focused roleplayer, this adds a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or overhaul mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple texture/mesh replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager.
- If you're using other mods that alter wine bottles, load this one after them to ensure the refraction effect applies.
- Check if your Skyrim version is up-to-date—this mod is old, so it may need manual compatibility tweaks.
