History Main / AGlassOfChianti

* Daidoji (known as simply "Doji" in the dub) in ''Anime/MetalFightBeyblade''.

* The Vatman in the ''Bloody Mary'' comics is something of an alcoholic... even after losing the bottom half of his face.
* ''Franchise/TheFlash'' villain the Top is an elitist who never fit in well with the other Flash villains. Part of this comes from the fact that he can taste the difference in red wines...
* ''ComicBook/EmmaFrost'' did this quite often when she was an ''ComicBook/XMen'' villain. As stated about villainesses, she preferred champagne. Her tastes changed after joining the team, where her spirit of choice became whiskey out of a flask in tense situations, but she still prefers a glass of chianti when relaxed.
* ComicBook/DoctorDoom has been shown lounging about on thrones or in throne halls with glasses of what one can only assume is a wine variant of one or other.
** "Love a good wine... and a good war."
* In ''[[ComicBook/{{Excalibur}} Captain Britain]],'' one of [[RealityWarper Mad Jim Jaspers]]' first scenes in the 616 universe involved him transforming white wine into red wine:
-->He wants to laugh, but he feels too sad because the wine is wrong. It's ''white'' wine. He doesn't ''like'' white wine. He likes ''red'' wine.
* Immortal caveman conqueror ''ComicBook/VandalSavage'' can tell the year and region of a wine by the sound of it being poured, and refuses to drink anything newer than 1,000 year old vintage.
* [[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor It is a sick joke]], of course, but in one ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' story, ComicBook/{{Venom}} pretty much paraphrases Hannibal Lecter's famous quote while ''anticipating'' eating Spider-Man's liver. (He had previously goaded the hero by saying he was trying to decide between the lungs, spleen, or pancreas; [[AxCrazy the guy is nuts]].)
* ''ComicBook/{{The Legend of Wonder Woman|2016}}'': [[ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} Priscilla Rich]] has a glass of wine in her hand while lounging in her furs at a Nazi meeting where they're plotting the killing of innocents and the destruction of Franchise/WonderWoman.
* ''ComicBook/StarfiresRevenge'' opens with the titular ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} villain and her minion Derek enjoying a glass of expensive wine and lounging in a beach on the French Riviera while discussing her criminal schemes.

* In ''Film/TheIsland'', CorruptCorporateExecutive Dr. Merrick is seen watching the Lottery in his private abode, drinking from a wine glass.

* ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'''s trademarks are scars, eyepatches, and wine, in roughly that order. While he's more of an AntiHero, many of his actions could certainly be seen as unlawful and he's actually portrayed as the villain in ''Cosmo Warrior Zero''.

* Captain Napolipolita in ''Anime/ProjectAKo'' is invariably seen with a glass of wine. When she can't get any, she goes into instant withdrawal and [[MoreDakka shoots up her own bridge]]. (It's a parody of ''Anime/CaptainHarlock''.)

* [[BloodKnight Prince]] [[WarriorPrince Heinel]] and his [[EvilUncle uncle]] [[ManOfWealthAndTaste Emperor]] [[AliensAreBastards Zambajil]] of ''Anime/{{Voltes V}}'' are both seen drinking [[WineIsClassy a familiar reddish-pink liquid in wine glasses]]. However, they're [[EvilColonialist aliens]] from a planet 14,000 light years away from Earth, so it likely isn't wine...
