As nicolesigaud has pointed out, there is no inciting incident in this version. Add the inciting inciting incident here and it's a step in the right direction.

The inciting incident from your previous attempt: "When his celebrity drinkers die" played for comedy value could work really nicely. The only thing I would suggest is to up the stakes:

When he's accused of manslaughter after an A-list celebrity dies, a disgraced winemaker plots his revenge on the farmer he believes sold him poisoned grapes.

I like the addition of the police aspect because it adds a subplot and additional antagonistic elements that could be fun exploring. It also increases the motivation for the protagonist - not only is he trying to clear his name, he's trying to stay out of jail.

Out of curiosity, did the farmer sell him poisoned grapes? If so, why?

I did not see the inciting incident, meaning what triggered his revenge. I think parts of the first version could be used with this one to improve it.
