There's no special significance to the name - I couldn't think of what to call the game then I saw a picture of some Riesling grapes on the wall in my parents' kitchen with just the word "Riesling" written at the bottom.
Just to let you know, I tried to run your game on a Dell Optiplex and found some problem. When I started it up - it switched to full-screen mode & I noticed the opening logo, then a flash of a small white rectangle at bottom-right of screen, then I was taken back to the Windows desktop with the game app minimised on the task bar. When I clicked the game's task bar button, I was taken back to full-screen mode showing the game menu, but it would shortly go back to the desktop - kinda weird. Maybe it's some graphics driver issue - anyway just thought you'd want to know about it.
Thanks for posting this - I'm looking forward to trying it on another machine.

hmm.. I've tested on a few machines and not seen this happen. In the game's main loop I call IsScreenActive() - if it returns 0 I free all the sprites and do nothing until it returns <>0, in order to support ALT-TAB switching etc.
It seems like maybe some other program is taking the focus and causing IsScreenActive() to return 0 - maybe something which runs in the tray area of the taskbar if something flashes at bottom-right?
Yeah not really sure what happened there - I should have said that I was running this on an office machine that is pretty 'locked down' from a privilege point of view. I ran it on another machine - same model, config & spec & it was fine (also it was Administrator not locked-down mode). Not sure if that makes a difference. Sorry I can't offer much more help at the moment - given the above, it's probably not a concern. Thanks for making the game available - it's cool!
