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.

I used to feel very similarly about wine and alcohol, finding it disgusting. When I was in high school and worked in a grocery store someone broke a bottle of wine and I had to mop it up and the overpowering stench nearly made me vomit many times. I don't drink wine very often at all nowadays but it doesn't repulse me the way it did at the time. But it is not to be sniffed before drinking!

Since this game talks about alcohol (and include alcohol in it's package), it shouldn't be AO rated?

If you want some pretty good, very simple wine, Fransia is available at just about every supermarket. The chillable red is really good.
And if you want a simple drink that will ease you into wines, try mixing red wine with 7up or Sprite.
As long as you get past the fact that it's sold in a box, it's a good wine.

As a former lush, I have to comment that the proper way to drink fransia, or any boxed wine, is to remove the bladder and drink it as if it were an alcohol filled bagpipe... College was fun.

I've never been a wine guy myself, but maybe the taste will grow on me eventually.
