FotWS RNG in Posh%

In posh%, one could obtain the wine as a gift from the Feast of the Winter Star. Getting it requires good luck, and skill isn't relevant in the matter. In my opinion, this is quite similar to the travelling cart, and therefore should be banned in this category. Thoughts?

It was a thought for the run that was previously brought up and there wasn't much in terms of negativity. Realistically the run is to get lucky and get an emerald to gift I believe in the mines.

While not the most interesting, it is far less rng dependent than simply running to the cart. Can be debated though. Boiler room has become simple omni geode luck for fire quartz.

The idea behind banning the cart was that the cart deters gameplay and "fun". Realistically you could do random CC bundles and still get a keg relatively easily too (while still having a big rng element).

I think that the FotWS gifts are tied to your actual world seed, so you'd have to restart after every failed attempt, sleep through almost a full year and then try again if you get any of the other 30 gifts. Chance for getting wine is so low, that that is really not a great option (except for seeded runs)
