Every wonder what it is like to own a wine chateau? You can get a little closer with a new computer game, Wine Tycoon from Got Game Limited lets players create vineyards in France's most prestigious wine regions including Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne. Players have to build their winery, tend their vineyards, hire staff and then produce the wine. Players go through all stages of wine development from planting grapes to dealing with a virtual bottling plant. In order to succeed at the game, crops must be maintained and equipment has to be maintained. The game also includes a Wine Encyclopedia with a glossary of wine terms, grape varieties and wine regions. It will be available next month for $19.99.
