Note
A plural only the noun can have. The modal verb must is defective and never takes an -s, so every musts is a noun. Usually it is the noun of obligation, made from the modal: things you cannot skip. The same spelling also serves the winemaker's must, the fermenting grape juice, so in a cellar musts are batches of juice, not requirements.
