New Video Game Lets You Play At Being A Wine Tycoon

Filed under: Wine

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.

Wii Weights might help you lose a few pounds while experimenting with the newest Nintendo system, but WiiFanboy drew our attention to a recent feature in City Magazine that picked out designer outfits for playing sports with the Wii. For tennis enthusiasts, they recommend a Polo Ralph Lauren vest and polo, a Tiffany diamond bangle, P'8419 sunglasses and, if one-piece outfits are more your style, a map dress from Lacoste. The article covers boxing, bowling, baseball and golf. We still like the Ralph Lauren Wimbledon outfits better than these ensembles, but a little sporty inspiration is never a bad thing.

It is only a matter of time before everything will be encrusted in Swarovski crystals - or that it will at least be a standard option when buying anything with unadorned surfaces. The newest gadget to join the ranks of the crystalline is the Nintendo DS Lite. A Japanese designer is offering this customization for about 45,000 Yen ($385).
