At Your Service, My Lady

For the Wine, you need to head to the Wine Merchant of Rattay. He is out of the required wine but guides you to participate in the Archery contest to win the Wine instead. Here you are presented with three options to obtain the Wine.
You can either win the Archery contest. Make sure you save the game before attempting so you can retry if you lose. Another option is to convince the winner to give you the Wine bottle if you have a high Speech level. The last option is to buy the bottle from the winner for 200 Groschen.
For the Crown, you must head to Sasau. There you find out that the merchant never arrived who has the crown. Either now you can find out what happened to the merchant or you can use a forged Crown by talking with the person there. Lady Stephanie does notice the forgery.
The last item required is the horse. For the horse, head to Uzhitz and look for the stable master. He will tell you about the unique way of calming the horse down if he tries to buck the rider off. The trick is to sing to the horse to calm it down. Now you need to ride back to the castle on it.
Once you return to the castle with all three items, Lady Stephanie will give you a shirt. If you want to court her, accept the shirt otherwise reject the shirt. Courting her or any other woman in Kingdom Come Deliverance will make the lock the trophy ‘Virgin’ for this playthrough.
