Find any wine with the MCP Server

The team can use `wine_check` to check a wine's details, scores, grape varieties, or region. This is critical for accessing global pricing and producer data from over 100,000 merchants. Because it's configured in the shared `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer on the team gets automatic access to this powerful MCP Server.
