In the Rifts: Book of Magic, the spell "Water to Wine" states:

The wine is of fair to average quality, with the quality increasing by 5% per each level of the sorcerer's experience.

Can anyone explain how this works? If a wine is 25% or 50% better than "fair to average," what does that mean?

it means it's good wine

It means that as the mage grows in experience (i.e.: goes up in levels) the wine made by the "water to wine" spell, will be of better quality. (i.e.: taste better.)

So wine made by a L10 mage will be more desirable then some made by a L1 mage.

At least to those chars that like to drink wine.

There isn't any set meaning that I'm aware of.

But it sounds like a 15th level mage could open one heck of a good winery.

Lv1 mage equals box wine.
Lv3 mage table wine.
Lv6 mage 15 dollar bottle.
Lv8 mage 30 to 40 dollar bottle.
Lv11 mage 100 dollar bottle from a renowned winery.
Lv15 mage one of those bottle you look at and wonder why the heck some one would pay so much for 200 year old wine from a good year with an unspoiled cork.......

Hey! I like box wine!

I've got some friends who are into wine, yet even when they're telling me the difference between the two bottles, I can't really tell a difference between a $20 bottle of wine and a $100 bottle of wine. I can tell the difference between a $20 and $10, though, so I'm not completely hopeless.

I can claim anything that I like.

Really, I can't tell much difference.

Would rather have a "Water to Spirits" or "Water to Beer" spell. Most wines taste like grapes gone wrong to me.

Of course I worked in a warehouse where there were wine spills nearly every week. So smells from them might be where got my distaste for wine.

In an older description it was 50% + 5% per Level. So for a 1st to 3rd level (55% - 65%) character it is an average wine and for an highlevel (9th - 12th) character it is a excellent wine (95% - 110%).

Just my two cents.

Well, it IS.
Although I prefer that to grain gone wrong.

That probably IS the problem; you should try the stuff that doesn't come in puddles.
