Item #: SCP-8159

Object Class: Euclid (formerly Safe)

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8159 is to remain sealed within Containment Chamber 12-B, a standard reinforced isolation unit located at Site-73. The chamber is to be equipped with a reinforced steel door featuring one-way visual glass. Under no circumstances is the door to be opened, regardless of vocalizations or external stimuli produced by SCP-8159.

The attached sign reading “FOR YOUR SAFETY KEEP THIS DOOR CLOSED” must remain intact and legible at all times. Personnel assigned to SCP-8159 are required to undergo weekly, auditory desensitization training to resist vocal manipulation. Requests from SCP-8159 for a “sip” or to be “let in” should be logged but not acknowledged.

Description: SCP-8159 is a humanoid entity visible only through reinforced transparent materials. It manifests as a low-resolution, heavily distorted human face which presses itself against the viewing window of the containment door. Despite its appearance, SCP-8159 is capable of vocalization in multiple human languages, usually delivered in a pleading tone.

Most commonly, the entity repeats the phrases:

• “Let me in.”
• “I just want a sip.”

These phrases vary slightly in cadence, tone, and emotional intensity, but always imply an innocuous desire for entry and consumption of an unspecified liquid, presumed to be wine¹ (based on correlation with a glass of rosé that consistently materializes near containment in digital records).

Important Note: No wine or wine glass has ever been physically introduced to the chamber. Attempts to remove or analyze the digital wine glass have failed, suggesting either cognito-hazardous influence or anomalous data corruption.

The physical body of SCP-8159 is digital residue stuck to the surface of any transparent material holding it. Specific conditions must be met in order to host the digital residue representing SCP-8159. Transport requires a series of rooms with doors and trapdoors in sequence. Though called "residue" the reality of its corporeality is much more complex. It's as though the glass itself becomes a device and can host the entity. SCP-8159 "jumps" between windows when sealed off, broken, or whenever any of its manifestation requirements are not met.

If there is no suitable window to attach itself to, SCP-8159 reappears on the last recording device it was captured with and jumps to the next reinforced transparent material the recording device will see. Somehow, if the latest recording device will become destroyed, lost, or otherwise stop being a "recording device" in the future, SCP-8159 knows the device or sensor is not suitable and will not inhabit that specific device, but jump to the one before it.

Interview Log 371-2.6

<BEGIN LOG>

Foreword to Official Record: Pursuant to Foundation protocol and Director Julian Keats’ authority, this Interview Log No. 371-2.6, pertaining to SCP-8159 (“Glass of Rosé”) and its associated ectoentropic objects SCP-8159-A and SCP-8159-B, are hereby entered into the official record²³.

Director Keats is ordering Dr. Andrew Gutard to present these findings at a Digital File Management meeting to update SCP containment procedures. This Level 3 material is highly classified, but a Level 0 version accessible to all personnel will be used for the training session. Unauthorized sharing is strictly forbidden.

<INTERVIEW>

Director Keats: The recording has begun. Would you please state your name and occupation for the record?

Dr. Gutard: My name is Andrew Gutard, and I am a biochemist with a double doctorate in nutrition science and toxicology.

Director Keats: And how long have you been stationed at Site-█ ?

Dr. Gutard: 52 weeks, come this Monday.

Director Keats: Well, Happy Anniversary! I’m going to ask you a few questions now, is that okay?

Dr. Gutard: Yes, Director.

Director Keats: Have you ever wondered why they use air gaps to keep devices disconnected from the internet? After all, if a laptop is on a wooden table and powered off, surely nothing can interact with it, right?

Dr. Gutard: I beg your pardon?

<KEATS TAKES GUTARD ASIDE>

<KEATS AND GUTARD RETURN>

Director Keats: An air gap means there is no physical or wireless connection between the secured device and the unsecured network. SCP-8159, colloquially known as Glass of Rosé, flies in the face of that containment method. It has the ability to instantly interfere with any camera or surveillance equipment it can see, albeit for the caveat of one purpose only: to apparate a single glass of rosé wine, henceforth referred to as SCP-1859-A and SCP-1859-B.

Dr. Gutard: What about surveillance equipment it can't see?

<PAPERS SHUFFLE>

Director Keats: It is also possible, under very specific circumstances, that Glass of Rosé will inhabit recording devices that it has come into contact with. But I digress. What you are here for is another of SCP-8159’s phenomena known as rosé wine.

For some reason, SCP-8159 is connected to the ████ when observed with sensors and invariably materializes the rosé as though you could reach out and touch it. The rosé even obeys the laws of physics in relation to objects in the real world. If you walk into it, the glass falls and breaks and spills. This evokes a visceral, apoplectic response in SCP-1859 for a single frame of recording.

<KEATS DELIVERS EXHIBIT-1 TO GUTARD>

Dr. Gutard: Dear God…

<KEATS RETRIEVES EXHIBIT-1 FROM GUTARD>

Director Keats: What's interesting is SCP-8159's breadth of rosé expertise. Beverage containers will change language, region, shape, and contents. SCP-8159-A will even become variants containing real, 24 carat gold leaf suspended in aqueous solution. We call this rosé variant with gold "SCP-1859-B."

Dr. Gutard: That sounds… profitable.

<KEATS SMILES>

Director Keats: Indeed. If a participant interacts with the digital wine glass as though it were actually there, they can drink it. Subjects with VR goggles report tasting the wine in all its glory – sparkling, sweet, and on occasion, loaded with gold foil. The wine then passes through the subject's body – intoxicating them, raising blood sugar levels, until finally, it is excreted as gold-laced sh<DATA EXPUNGED>.

<GUTARD LAUGHS NERVOUSLY>

Director Keats: Theories have emerged regarding SCP-8159’s motive for apportation of SCP-8159-A outside of its containment chamber, usually close to the door it appears behind. Perhaps the wine is a lure, not unlike that of the anglerfish. After all, why not just create a wine glass inside the chamber where it resides?

Dr. Gutard: An ‘I lead others to a treasure I cannot possess’ -type situation, it seems.

<SILENCE>

Director Keats: That’s where the semi-digital body comes into play. It seems the entity is actually digital residue stuck to the surface of any transparent material that holds it. When viewed from the back, the figure then appears on the other side of the window, and vice-versa. Thus, no fewer than four conditions must be met in order to host the digital residue representing the corporeal body of SCP-8159. Please confirm receipt of Addendum 3.

<KEATS SLIDES ADDENDUM 3 ACROSS THE TABLE>

<GUTARD READS ADDENDUM 3>

<GUTARD SLIDES ADDENDUM 3 BACK ACROSS THE TABLE>

Dr. Gutard: Receipt is confirmed.

Director Keats: Let the record reflect that Doctor Andrew Gutard has answered in the affirmative.

Dr. Gutard: What happens when someone underage tries to open the door?

Director Keats: Anyone under 21 years of age does not undergo spaghettification, or will ever be presented with the rosé⁴. Instead, SCP-8159 will throw 9 to 18 digital pine nuts at them. The minor will then feel a profound sense of rejection, as well as a slight battery of small projectiles. Would you like to know why you’re here?

Dr. Gutard: Sure.

Director Keats: We are still trying to find out how to acquire as much rosé with gold leaf as possible. We just reached 5 casualties as of yesterday and we are still learning how best to proceed. I think your knowledge of nutrition science and toxicology can help us. So please, tell me what you know about the physiological trauma and nutritional stress that alcohol puts on the body of an adult-sized male.

Report

Summary:

SCP-8159 is an easily contained, though not easily understood, semi-digital entity with unique properties that are profitable in nature. Under certain circumstances, SCP-8159 and ectoentropic objects SCP-8159-A and SCP-8159-B can generate a limitless amount of gold foil immersed in alcoholic beverage solution. A standard glass (175ml) of Rosé wine with gold leaf such as "XXIV Carat" features edible gold flakes or gold leaf in the amount of 5.6 ct, roughly 1.12 grams Au. These wines include edible gold for a unique taste and presentation that SCP-8159 often finds appealing, though not always.

Doctor Andrew Gutard, a Level 2 researcher stationed at Site-█ recommends procuring a "vessel" or vessels to routinely and safely engage with SCP-8159 in pursuit of materializing SCP-8159-B for the purpose of consumption and excretion. Test subjects should be able to maximize consumption efficiency matching that of heavy drinkers in the civilian populace. Gutard suggests recruiting heavy drinkers to train or become vessels themselves. Perhaps they can earn a commission on what they’re able to produce.

Due to the intoxicating effects of SCP-8159-A and SCP-8159-B, even experienced vessels are likely to make mistakes in their drunken stupor. This necessitates either non-biological consumers designed to ingest the wine without possibility of physiological damage or rapid cycling of efficient volunteers capable of surviving constant physiological trauma and nutritional stress. Then there's the scalability problem.

Theoretically, one could create cubicles of participants all connected in a network of unopened but openable doors. A participant could even get the rosé from a door connected to a room below the "floor." However, if even one participant opens the door, the whole network can become compromised by turning itself into a "room." SCP-8159 can propagate like a domino effect, wreaking havoc on sensors, equipment, and any door that meets manifestation requirements.

Hosting a multitude of rooms outdoors carries the risk of defectors, dust, and innumerable other complications. Any camera that catches a glimpse of the SCP, then turns toward a door that meets manifestation requirements, can propagate the anomaly further, causing havoc and death on a wide scale. Preventing such a catastrophe from evolving is exactly what the SCP Foundation was designed to do.

+ Addendum 1 – Psychological Influence:

Exposure to SCP-8159’s voice or image (particularly the “sip request”) for longer than 15 seconds induces a mild compulsion to open the containment door. This effect intensifies with repeated exposure, inevitably escalating to auditory hallucinations and a persistent thirst for rosé.

Long-term exposure has led to several personnel developing intense emotional attachments to SCP-8159, referring to it as a “misunderstood friend” or “a guy who just seems chill.” These individuals are to be reassigned pending psychological evaluation and breathalyzer test.

+ Addendum 2 – Incident 8159-3 Summary:

D-class subject opened the containment door “as a joke” after SCP-8159 “sounded really sad that day.” Within 1.9 seconds, subject was no longer visible on surveillance. The door slammed shut autonomously, and SCP-8159 resumed pressing its reddened face against the window. It appeared slightly more hydrated, and feeling much better. Containment door was later found completely dry on both sides.

+ Addendum 3 – Manifestation Requirements:

SCP-8159 relies on no fewer than four conditions to manifest:

1. The window must be attached to a life-sized door
2. Window size must be somewhere between 15 to 45 percent of the door's surface area
3. A portion of the surrounding floor must be level, to lay SCP-8159-A
4. The door must be closed
5. The door must be openable

When alone in a room with doors, SCP-8159 will spread to every window that meets the above four conditions. Whenever a door is opened, SCP-8159 waits 1.9 seconds. Whatever subject still present on the other side at the end of the countdown is absorbed. The absorbed subject will seem to vanish, when actually it has been spaghettified and slurped through the lips of SCP-8159's face in less than a millisecond. SCP-8159's mass will increase slightly, mostly from water present in the victim's blood, in proportion to a 175 ml serving of rosé. Solid matter is then 'downloaded' and used to generate future wine glasses with wine to nourish whoever or whatever drinks it.

SCP-8159-B with gold leaf relies on all the above requirements to materialize, in addition to:

5. Subject must be capable of drinking between 175 and 750 ml of alcoholic beverage within the space of a typical 'happy hour’ (Alcohol content: 9.5% ; Sugar: 18 g / L ; Gold: 6.4 g / L)
6. Subject must be over 21 earth years of age. No ID is required. He will know⁵
7. There must be enough floor space for the subject to comfortably pick up and drink the wine
8. If drinking the beverage will push subject’s BAC past 0.40%, the LD 50 of alcohol, production halts for 1.9 hours. Once elapsed, subject may then wait for the next drink to materialize

+ Memo from Director Keats:

“For the last time: nobody is going to let him have ‘a little sip’! I don’t care how parched he is or how long you’ve been friends. He is not your wine buddy. He is an alcoholic spatial distortion with a taste for ████ and ████! Jesus <DATA EXPUNGED>”

Footnotes

1. Now presumed to be human ████.

2. Doctor Andrew Gutard’s professional counsel, as summarized in the report, has been received and incorporated. Director Keats instructs representative Gutard to present these findings during the upcoming Digital File Management training session to review and propose containment procedures and protocols, specifically concerning amendments to the SCP Manual of Digital File Management, 4th Ed.

3. All material herein is Classified and requires Level 3 clearance to access. Reproduction or dissemination without explicit authorization from O5-█ or their delegate, Director Keats, is strictly prohibited. Unauthorized use breaches security protocol and will result in severe disciplinary action. Materials presented at the training session will have Level 0 clearance so any SCP personnel may access it.

4. Unless the minor has already tried alcohol, including the digital rosé, in which case spaghettification can still occur.

5. Sharing the wine with other subjects is, however, permitted, even if underage. Underage subjects are not recommended as vessels due to the damaging effects of alcohol on their underdeveloped bodies and prefrontal cortex. Furthermore, SCP-8159 will “cut off” any participant that shares alcohol with a minor. He will know.
