Who would be the closest to a god of wine in the Forgotten Realms? I'd prefer to stay within existing FR lore and not import Dionysus or somesuch god from "outside."
Possible candidates:
- Chauntea, goddess of agriculture
- Ilmater, god of endurance
- Lliira, goddess of joy
- Tymora, goddess of good fortune
- Sune, goddess of love and beauty
- Silvanus, god of wild nature
Would it be one of those, or another I'm not thinking of?

Does it matter which pantheon the god is from? There could be multiple candidates from different pantheons (all the ones you've mentioned are in the Faerunian pantheon, but there are a few separate cultural/racial pantheons which could have overlapping portfolios).

If by pantheon you mean human pantheon, elf pantheon, etc. then no. Any god worshipped on the world of Toril is acceptable. If you mean FR pantheon, Greyhawk pantheon, etc. then yes. Toril gods only please.

there are a handful of different "human" pantheons in FR that originate from different human cultures, just FYI - but clarification made.

Taking the hedonistic, Dionysus-esque approach to wine:
Alobal Lorfiril
In the Elven pantheon, Alobal Lorfiril is a minor deity of hedonism and revelry. His holy symbol is even a wine glass, and the FR wiki notes:
Priests of Alobal also often oversaw the production of wine...
Sharess
In the standard Faerunian pantheon, Sharess is the god of hedonism, festhalls and sensual fulfilment; drinking and throwing parties is in her wheelhouse (and is going on pretty much constantly in the festhalls dedicated to her).

Thank you. Are you aware of any reason why Sharess isn't mentioned in 5e PH or SCAG? Not that I'm only looking for 5e material, just curious.

@mdrichey that's a potentially big question best asked separately (but which is possibly also off topic). In general, comments should get used to ask for clarification and more information within the scope of your question, but not to ask whole new significant follow up questions. Those deserve being asked properly in their own right, so people can earn rep for answering properly—and have their answers checked and vetted by the community.

@mdrichey "Why" is probably its own question, but I can at least confirm Sharess still seems to exist in 5e- the Volo's Waterdeep Enchiridion section of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist passingly mentions her clergy participating in "The Grand Revel" holiday.
