I’m playing a level 4 tiefling aberrant mind sorcerer and took the Fey Touched feat at level 4, selecting Charm Person as the spell it grants. My spell save DC is 15, calculated as follows:
19 CHA (+4)
+2 proficiency bonus
+1 from a Bloodwell Vial
However, on D&D Beyond, the spell save DC for Charm Person is showing as 14. It seems like the Bloodwell Vial bonus isn’t being applied to this spell.
Is this how it works according to RAW, or should the spell save DC for Charm Person also be 15 like my other spells?
That’s how it works by RAW; spells you learn via feats or race features don’t count as class spells even when you cast them with spell slots, so anything that modifies the DC or spell attack bonus for a class doesn’t apply to them.
Is this how it works according to RAW, or should the spell save DC for Charm Person also be 15 like my other spells?
It should be 15 like your other spells. Whenever the online implementation differs from the rules as they are written, the written rules take priority.
As written, the only rule which determines whether or not a spell is a Sorcerer Spell comes from the Sorcerer's Spellcasting Feature:
Drawing from your innate magic, you can cast spells. See chapter 7 for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Sorcerer spells, which appear in the Sorcerer spell list later in the class’s description.
Later in the class's description, there is a table of spells called the Sorcerer Spell List. The headings within this table confirm the meaning of the term "Sorcerer Spell" in the game:
Cantrips (Level 0 Sorcerer Spells)
. . .
Level 1 Sorcerer Spells
. . .
Level 2 Sorcerer Spells
. . .
etc.
So, if the spell appears on this list, it is a Sorcerer Spell. It's as simple as that.
Logically, such a spell becomes one of "your Sorcerer Spells" if it is prepared in your mind for casting. This happens automatically for spells that are "learned" or "known", such as Cantrips -- they generally don't require a separate procedure to prepare them.

I think you missed some important information.
Drawing from your innate magic, you can cast spells. See chapter 7 for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Sorcerer spells, which appear in the Sorcerer spell list later in the class’s description. . . .
Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature.
Charm Person, while on the Sorcerer list, was not prepared using a Sorcerer spell slot. It was prepared because of a feat. That means it is not following the 'information below', so it is operating outside of the Sorcerer spellcasting ability.
After all, a Bard's Cure Wounds spell doesn't become a Cleric spell just because it is on the Cleric list.
It should also be noted that the last paragraph of the Prepared Spells section is as follows:
If another Sorcerer feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Sorcerer spells for you.
However, Fey-Touched is not a Sorcerer feature, it is a general feat.
That’s how it works by RAW; spells you learn via feats or race features don’t count as class spells even when you cast them with spell slots, so anything that modifies the DC or spell attack bonus for a class doesn’t apply to them.

No. You have to look very carefully at how those sentences are worded.
The introduction to that Spellcasting Feature makes a broad statement that it gives the character the ability to cast spells. It then directs the player to reference Chapter 7 to understand all of the general rules of spellcasting (since this character can now cast spells). Then, it very explicitly states that the information below (the rest of the Spellcasting feature) details how you use "those" rules (the ones from Chapter 7) WITH Sorcerer Spells. The term "Sorcerer Spells" is then explicitly defined, and this is the only place in the entire game which does so.
If you follow the logic created by the grammar of that sentence, the Sorcerer Spells exist outside of the feature (in fact, a list of them appears "later in the class's description"), but that term is referenced by the feature in order for the feature to be able to use this term in a way that makes sense. The feature describes how to use the spellcasting rules WITH Sorcerer spells. In other words, it is a prerequisite that you must be working with Sorcerer Spells in order to use this feature . . . the feature only works with Sorcerer Spells and not with, say, Wizard Spells (unless those Wizard Spells are also Sorcerer Spells).
After all, a Bard's Cure Wounds spell doesn't become a Cleric spell just because it is on the Cleric list.
As a matter of fact, that spell is a Bard Spell and also a Cleric Spell. In addition, it also happens to be a Druid Spell and a Paladin Spell and a Ranger Spell.
Just in case you think I'm making this up, I will now quote the actual text straight from the book, since this is a discussion of the rules as they are written after all:
You have learned to cast spells through your bardic arts. See chapter 7 for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Bard spells, which appear in the Bard spell list later in the class’s description.
You have learned to cast spells through prayer and meditation. See chapter 7 for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Cleric spells, which appear on the Cleric spell list later in the class’s description.
Note that, as written, how a spell is prepared has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not it is a Sorcerer Spell.
It has nothing to do with whether or not it is on the Sorcerer Spell List. If you look at the Beyond character sheets, they clearly categorize spells learned from alternate features separately from class spells. For the umpteenth time, a spell existing on a spell list does not mean it is always treated as a spell for that class on a character. These are two separate concepts, despite your extensive efforts to conflate them.

The information below details how you use those rules with Sorcerer spells,
And how you use those rules says, 'You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature.'
You are not doing that, however. The information only gives you two options; either use one of your Prepared Spells or a Sorcerer feature. Fey-Touched does not fulfil either of these options.
Now what you could do is Prepare Charm Person. That would then make it a Sorceror spell. You would get one 'extra' casting of it thanks to Fey-Touched before you have to burn a spell slot.
And as far as the idea that Cure Wounds automatically counts as a a Cleric spell even when it is cast by a Bard, look at Spellcasting under Multiclassing.
Each spell you prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell.
This means if I was a Cleric and a Bard my Cure Wounds would have to be associated with either Cleric or Bard, but it could not be associated with both. Why would I only be able to able to associate a spell with a single class when I multiclass but with multiple classes when I'm a single class?
It has nothing to do with whether or not it is on the Sorcerer Spell List.
What? I mean, that's just false. I quoted the rules directly from the text. Why are you ignoring the rules? When the text says "Sorcerer spells, which appear in the Sorcerer spell list later in the class’s description" that pretty much means that whether or not the spell is a Sorcerer Spell has a tremendous amount to do with whether or not it is on the Sorcerer Spell List.
If you look at the Beyond character sheets, they clearly categorize spells learned from alternate features separately from class spells. For the umpteenth time, a spell existing on a spell list does not mean it is always treated as a spell for that class on a character. These are two separate concepts, despite your extensive efforts to conflate them.
It is necessary to track which trait, feat or feature caused the spell to become prepared in the mind for casting for a few different reasons. For example, the multiclass rules require this procedure so that the correct Spellcasting Ability is applied to the spell when it is cast. Also, the various Spellcasting features allow you to create a list of prepared spells for use by that feature -- this is limited to a certain number of spells. By noting that some spells came from a different feature, you can make sure that you are not exceeding the allowable number of spells, since these other spells do not count against the number of spells that you can prepare with that feature.
None of that is related to determining what the term "Sorcerer Spell" means or what exactly counts as a "Sorcerer Spell". You won't find any rule related to these above concepts which uses that term. It's a separate concept that has to do with tracking the feature that the spell came from, not the class. Even if there was some reason to track the class where a spell came from, that still doesn't "make" that spell a [Class] spell. We know this because none of those rules say that. That's just not what the term [Class] spell means in this game. That term means exactly what the game says that it means.
Again, if there is something about a certain software implementation of the rules that differs from the Rules as they are Written, then that is a bug in the software since the written rules take priority.
If we look at what is happening here, I am saying that the term "Sorcerer Spell" means a certain thing, and I have quoted the rule directly from the text which says exactly what I am saying. You are saying this other thing. But you have not supplied any quote from any text which says the things that you are saying.
And as far as the idea that Cure Wounds automatically counts as a a Cleric spell even when it is cast by a Bard, look at Spellcasting under Multiclassing.
Each spell you prepare is associated with one of your classes, and you use the spellcasting ability of that class when you cast the spell.
This means if I was a Cleric and a Bard my Cure Wounds would have to be associated with either Cleric or Bard, but it could not be associated with both. Why would I only be able to able to associate a spell with a single class when I multiclass but with multiple classes when I'm a single class?
Yes, I'm aware of this multiclass rule -- it gets misinterpreted quite often. All this rule is saying is that when you use one of your Spellcasting features to prepare a spell, that spell goes on that list of prepared spells -- you have to keep track of this by associating that list with that class for the sole purpose of making sure that you end up using the correct Spellcasting Ability when you eventually cast that spell. In other words, you keep your Bard list of Prepared Spells of Level 1+ separate from your Cleric list of Prepared Spells of Level 1+ and you keep track of which one is which. You use the Spellcasting Ability from that same feature when you cast any of these spells.
This has nothing to do with whether or not that spell that you've just prepared is a Bard Spell or a Cleric Spell. We know this because it doesn't say that. It only says that you must associate the spell with the class whose Spellcasting feature was used to prepare it. Let's not leap to conclusions that are not actually written there.
And how you use those rules says, 'You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature.'
This is exactly correct, but you are misinterpreting what this means. None of this has to do with "creating" a Sorcerer Spell -- it is providing a procedure for working WITH Sorcerer Spells (which already exist as such).
The very next line says: "To start, choose two level 1 Sorcerer spells."
What this means is that the Sorcerer Spells are what they are already -- they are the spells which appear on the big Sorcerer Spell List. Now, this feature is providing you with a procedure for preparing a few of these Sorcerer Spells for casting. To start, you do this by choosing two level 1 Sorcerer spells and those Sorcerer Spells get added to your small Sorcerer list of Prepared Level 1+ Spells.
Once these Sorcerer Spells are added to your small list, then later on you can use this same Spellcasting feature to cast those Sorcerer Spells (which were already Sorcerer Spells before they were prepared, but now they are Prepared Sorcerer Spells which appear on your small list for use by this feature).
I'm not really sure where this idea came from that this spell preparation procedure somehow "makes" a spell that's not a Sorcerer Spell "into" a spell that is a Sorcerer Spell. That's simply not what any of the words in the text are saying.
The only rule i'm aware of that seems to prevent a spell from being considered from multiple spell lists simultaneously is the multiclassing rule that says you prepare the spells separately from the classes and they count as only from that class. The spell casting chapter in my PHB seems to reinforce spells being on multiple lists at once since it has its own paragraph and the various classes a spell is a part of is written directly in each spells description.
This makes sense for a magic item like a spell scroll that requires a user of the scroll to have that spell on their list. I don't think theres a druid specific cure wounds spell scroll or a cleric specific cure wounds spell, but I might be wrong about that. Could be similar with other magic items that let you cast spells like wands or staves.
I think spells accessed by feats or species might also be considered from multiple spell lists since it doesn't include the same or similar exclusionary wording as the multiclassing rule. For a single class I don't think it matters though since you only have class features from the single class.
I think the crux of this is whether “a Sorcerer spell” and “your Sorcerer spell” are interchangeable terms, as up2ng asserts, or different.
I would say that up2ng is correct that “a Sorcerer spell” is defined as a spell on the Sorcerer list. The consensus view is that “your Sorcerer spells” are those which have been prepared through features of the Sorcerer class. That seems correct (to me) but isn’t explicitly defined as such in the rules; it is instead inferred from the multiclassing rules.
It has nothing to do with whether or not it is on the Sorcerer Spell List.
What? I mean, that's just false. I quoted the rules directly from the text. Why are you ignoring the rules? When the text says "Sorcerer spells, which appear in the Sorcerer spell list later in the class’s description" that pretty much means that whether or not the spell is a Sorcerer Spell has a tremendous amount to do with whether or not it is on the Sorcerer Spell List.
This has already be hashed out and rehashed ad nauseum in the thread TarodNet linked above. The discussion reached a consensus that class features and spell preparation determine what is a class spell and you disagreed. Cool. Once you determine whether a spell is a class spell or not, you can determine whether a feature that only affects class spells applies. Please don't act like this is a new discussion. The only thing new is that we see now that D&D Beyond also disagrees with you.

I’m playing a level 4 tiefling aberrant mind sorcerer and took the Fey Touched feat at level 4, selecting Charm Person as the spell it grants. My spell save DC is 15, calculated as follows:
However, on D&D Beyond, the spell save DC for Charm Person is showing as 14. It seems like the Bloodwell Vial bonus isn’t being applied to this spell.
Is this how it works according to RAW, or should the spell save DC for Charm Person also be 15 like my other spells?
That’s how it works by RAW; spells you learn via feats or race features don’t count as class spells even when you cast them with spell slots, so anything that modifies the DC or spell attack bonus for a class doesn’t apply to them.
My guess is that since Charm Person is coming from a feat it isn't considered a 'sorcerer spell'.
It should be 15 like your other spells. Whenever the online implementation differs from the rules as they are written, the written rules take priority.

The @The_Ace_of_Rogues' answer is clear and concise.
