The game has some charm but the clunky interface and copypasted enemies leave a lot to be desired.
This game is only worth playing as a lesson on how to not make games. Let's start with the good: The art style suits the pace of the game and the interface invokes the theme rather well. The music and sound effects create an easygoing relaxing atmosphere. The overall presentation is a cohesive whole and is not unattractive. The mediocre: The game has a text based tutorial which fails to explain any of the indepth interactions of the game systems. The interface is clunky at best. The game does not in any way explain what characteristics your wines should have to get a good rating. The process of wine making consists of multiple stages where you can pick what method to use but at first you only have one methodfor each step. The bad: RNG is king and you are at best a petty court noble. Player input at best can slightly correct RNG in their favour. The ROT event is absolutely unbalanced. one year you get no rot and 1.5 tonnes of grapes per plot. The other you get rot all year and get 0.3 tonnes. The ripeness stat seems to go up and down with one discernable reason. The interface while clean is confusing at best and doesn't adhere to convention at worst. TL;DR The RNG will fuck you over for no reason and at best you can slithly mitigate it.
