GAME
An educational CD-ROM about drinking great wine? Que c'est français Based on and named for the popular European board game Oenologus, this videogame offers up more than a thousand questions and lets you play in eight languages (including English).
Equipped with an intimidating bunch of animated grapes as your screen icon, you travel across a map representing one of the six wine-producing regions of France. To show your knowledge of viticulture, you answer multiple-choice, mix-and-match, and hangman-style questions. Respond correctly and accrue "virtual" bottles for your onscreen cellar. Wrong answers earn dirty looks from anthropomorphic grapes.
The CD-ROM may not be terribly tech-y, but you quickly learn everything there is to know about French wine, except maybe how it tastes.
