Explanation:
Nothing wrong with "keen on" except that US speakers might prefer other options. The asker is in the best position to decide depending on the audience being targeted.

neutral  Lancashireman: As you say, there is nothing wrong with 'keen on', so I am surprised that you are eager to introduce the element of 'anxiety' into the context of wine-tasting ('Spaß').

  -> I can be anxious to try a lot of things without experiencing any anxiety whatsoever. But perhaps that's different for British speakers? http://www.northwestwinefan.com/visitberg.html
agree  Rebecca Garber: eager to/interested in would work.
