DS wine guide helps you get started drinking wine immediately


... by including wine! Square Enix's Wine no Hajimekata DS (Beginner's Wine DS) will ship in two packages: the standalone game, and what will no doubt prove to be a very popular limited-edition set containing a bottle of Dourthe No. 1 Bourdeaux. The bottle and game come packaged together in a very handsome box, which will no doubt lead to the open-and-drink/keep-LE-package-pristine dilemma.

This is exactly the kind of training game we like to see: it is a handy reference to a subject that not a lot of people know about; gamers, in particular, may not be well-versed in this particular area of the culture. Being non-drinkers ourselves, we can't tell one glass of wine from another, finding them all kind of disgusting. A little education would probably help in that department, a little.

Of course, we imagine the people raging about Manhunt 2, who assume that all games (and "games," we assume) are for children, would begin breaking glass with their screeches if they saw a DS game that included alcohol.
