If you've ever listened to a sommelier ramble on about tannins or whatever, you were probably surprised to learn about all of the seemingly miniscule environmental and chemical elements that have an impact on how wine hits the tongue. Even so, I'm almost certain the rhythmic frequencies that were attached to this Nier Automata-branded wine barrel as it aged, as immaculately vibey as they no doubt were, had absolutely no effect on how the wine actually tastes. It was just for fun.
And it is fun! I'll admit, if it weren't for the roughly $80 USD price tag (converted from Japanese Yen), I would probably be buying Square Enix's slightly out-of-left-field Nier Automata wine (cheers, BrandoSP and PC Gamer). The kit comes with two bottles - each aged to their own differently curated Nier playlists - as well as two lovely glasses emblazoned with the Lunar Tear.
