Stationary gnomish press
Stationary gnomish presses have the same basic functionality as portable gnomish presses in that they can create wines and ciders for a cost. What is created is random and may contain a label with the location in which the press is located or the name of the character who worked the press. They are typically either a wine press or a cider press and cannot swap between the two beverage options. There are no other verbs associated with the stationary presses other than its basic operation command, TURN.
