Blind Wine Tasting Variations

Take your blind tasting game up a notch by incorporating friendly wagers! Here are some exciting variations⁚

Price Prediction⁚ Cover the bottles and have everyone taste and guess the price of each wine. The closest guess for each wine wins a point, or even better, a small prize.
Wine Roulette⁚ Create a roulette table with characteristics like grape types, regions, vintages, and alcohol levels. Players taste from covered bottles, and after receiving hints from a “quizmaster,” they place bets on the wine’s attributes. Reveal the labels to see who wins!
Sommelier Showdown⁚ Challenge your friends to guess not just the grape variety but also the region, alcohol level, and vintage; Each correct guess earns points, and the player with the most points at the end wins bragging rights and perhaps a “Sommelier for the Night” award.
Blind Tasting Bingo⁚ Design bingo cards with common wine descriptors (fruity, oaky, dry, etc.). As guests taste, they mark off matching descriptors on their cards. First to get five in a row wins!
Wine Attribute Auction⁚ Before revealing each wine, hold a mini-auction where guests can bid on what they believe a specific attribute will be, such as the highest alcohol content or the oldest vintage. Use poker chips or even candy as currency for a playful touch. The guest with the highest bid who guesses correctly wins that round’s prize.

Remember to adjust the complexity of the rules and wagers based on your guests’ wine knowledge and comfort levels.
