** Crocodile, [[A Man of Wealth and Taste]], was also seen enjoying a nice glass of red wine while the Strawhats and Princess Vivi were his captives.
* ''[[Detective Conan]]'': A number of episodes, movies, and [[Original Video Animation|Original Video Animations]] have significant plot points concerning the tasting of fine wines.
** One of the characters in the second [[Non
** Inspector Shiratori, coming from a wealthy family background, is a wine enthusiast himself. The second OAV, "Sixteen Suspects?!", is set at his villa, which has an extensive wine cellar. A bottle of extremely rare wine is broken by one of the guests, and Conan and Hattori have to figure out who did it.

* ''[[Honor Harrington (Literature)|Honor Harrington]]'''s William Alexander is a real connoisseur of the fine vintages and explicitly calls other drinks uncultured and low-class. Played with in that it is his older brother, Hamish, who holds the family title, and he doesn't drink anything except beer. Ham even [[Lampshade Hanging|hangs a lampshade]] over his brother's love of wine in one of their frequent after-dinner banters.
