APRIL FOOLS: Experience the Exciting World of Viniculture in SEGA’s New “Virtua Vineyard”People all around the world have been enjoying a glass of wine since the ancient times, and it’s played crucial roles in many ceremonial and social occasions since then. Some people make their own wine at home, but it’s an expensive and laborious process, and therefore not available to the average person. Even fewer people are able to experience the joy of growing their own grapes due to cost, lack of land, or not living in a grapevine-friendly growing environment. That’s not the way it was ferment to be! You may have already heard this through the grapevine, but to fill this void, we’re proud to announce an addition to our “Virtua” series with Virtua Vineyard.
With your crop of grapes in hand, you’re ready to start the winemaking process. You don’t need to know the ins and outs of oenology to make a best-selling batch of wine! The game will guide you through the fermentation periods, and in just a few short months, you’ll have a Coppola bottles to sell at the Virtua Market. Or, opt to make top-shelf wine that you can sell for more, and it will be ready in about 5 years. If you go for the ExtremeVintage bonus, you’ll be able to crush it with profits in just 20 years! Reinvest that money into your vineyard, and keep the cycle going. Just hope your vineyard doesn’t go Sideways!
Special thanks to kateburning for creating all of the Virtua Vineyard graphics.

Not to ruin the fun for SEGA, but there actually was a german business-simulator where you actually had to manage vineyards. Couldn’t find out if it ever was released/translated for the english-speaking parts of the world though.
It’s called “Der Winzer” – german for a winemaker. The game was for the Amiga, C64 and DOS.

Let’s be honest, this would still be better than the crap that was Virtua Quest.

I beta tested it in the end you talk to a farmer he tells you your grape crap is going to fail and do that it will not fail you must blow it up. But you have a choice on if the explosions will be blue green or red so the end is totally different.
