In The Simpsons season 11 episode 18, titled "Days of Wine and D'Ohses," Homer discovers a talent for wine tasting and becomes a wine connoisseur. He impresses his friends and family with his knowledge and appreciation for wine, but his newfound obsession begins to take a toll on his relationships and responsibilities.
Meanwhile, Bart and Milhouse become addicted to a Japanese anime series, called Battling Seizure Robots, and go to extreme lengths to continue watching it. They even skip school and steal cable to catch the latest episodes.
As Homer's wine obsession spirals out of control, he neglects his job at the nuclear power plant and puts his marriage with Marge in jeopardy. He spends all of their savings on expensive wines and even purchases a vineyard, despite having no prior experience or knowledge in viticulture.
Marge tries to intervene and convince Homer to seek help, but he refuses and instead invites his wine critic hero, Robert Parker, to Springfield for a wine-tasting event at the vineyard. However, the event does not go as planned, and Homer's dream of becoming a successful winemaker quickly turns into a nightmare.
Meanwhile, Bart and Milhouse's obsession with Battling Seizure Robots also reaches a breaking point when they accidentally cause a power outage in Springfield while trying to watch an episode.
