...fixed a broken wagon and got the wine delivered.

Step 1:
Go to the Orkney tavern and ASK BARTENDER AETHELSTAN WINE.
He responds: 'My wagon full o' fine wines was set upon by the bacaudae just at the edge o'town'.
Open the stable door, go south, then open another stable door in the southern direction.

Step 2:
Many of the steps that follow are most likely interchangable. Go south to Aquae Sulis and stop by the Falcon Inn, from there travel three times in the westerly direction then enter the wine shop to the south. Here you will find the wineseller and you should see the three kinds of wine available for purchase arranged on the floor. You cannot buy the wine like normal, why would it be that easy? You need to ask wineseller [type] of wine, he then says how much it will cost, hand him the appropriate amount of coins and then he will carefully select a jug of [type] wine and present it to you.

Buy one of the three kinds of wine, twelve in total.
If these are too heavy for you, or you are a recovering alcoholic that is not comfortable holding them head to the east of Orkney and put them on the broken wagon.

Step 3:
Head to the Roman Garrison towards the southeast of Britannia. Once inside go all north until you reach The Drill Field and see a wooden wagon, one wheel broken and useless, that sits there in the mud (familiar isn't it). Get wheel wagon. Now head back to the wagon near Orkney and use the syntax: repair wagon wheel. You should see a message: 'The old wagon looks quite serviceable now. Harness a couple of draft animals to the front hitch and you should be able to use it'.
Goto Drill Field - get wheel

Step 4:
Head to Tara, and enter the stables, there you will most likely find a groom looking like he just awoke from a nap. Kill him and retrieve a nice ripe apple from the corpse. Do this again for a total of two apples. Head back to the Roman Garrison and look around for a dusty old mule. This is the part that took me quite a while to figure out so I will share. Examining the mule says:

                One of the most stubborn animals about, you are not sure why anyone would keep one around. If you did               
                manage to get the animal to do what you wanted, it could be a valuable resource for pulling carts or plows.               
                Of course, that is IF you can get it to do what you want.

Feed the apple to the dusty old mule using the syntax: feed apple mule. He whuffles at it and happily eats it. Congratulations you now have mule friendship! After you feed each mule, you can ride them to the fixed wagon, then type HARNESS MULE WAGON for each mule. Once the wagon is fixed, and loaded with the wine, we are ready to get some people in Orkney loaded as well. Type board wagon, you may have to drop your boat, but you can pick it up immediately after boarding. Ride it into the stables of the Orkney tavern from the south and when you enter you will receive experience and a whois ...fixed a broken wagon and got the wine delivered.
