Choices
The timing decides the outcome. If Geralt investigates before the second part of Wine Wars: Belgaard, he learns the truth. Count Vladimir Crespi planned the sabotage to set Liam and Matilda against each other. Once they hear this, the rivals settle their differences and form a consortium.
If Geralt waits until Belgaard already has a new owner, the dugout is almost empty. Nothing points to the person behind the sabotage, and the mystery stays unsolved.
