Summary: 3 Stars
I played this game with my small wine tasting group and we did enjoy the game, the questions are interesting, some are difficult and some are not. However, there are only 4 spaces on the board where you actually drink wine. I was quite confused as to how you'd have a wine game when the most you can taste is 4 times and then if your roll bypasses the blind taste tests you'd not drink at all. We actually had one individual that over the 1.5 hours that we played never did land on a blind taste test space. Go figure. The other squares on the game are absolutely nothing. I thought the other squares would be challenges, things to do, I don't know something that would make the game a little more interesting. But they're not.
If you're familiar with the game show "Cash Cab" we actually added red light challenges at all the corners. I purchased a one minute sand timer and we give the person 60 seconds to name 5 white grape varieties, or 5 red grape varieties, 5 vineyards in Bordeaux, 5 grape varieties that are Burgundy wines, etc. I've made up 20 or so of my own questions on 3x5 cards. They can either choose a red light challenge question or a blind taste test. It's something that makes the game more interesting and moves it along.
Another suggestion is to have everyone just bring a bottle of their own wine to drink in between the blind tastings. Otherwise your glass is empty for quite some time. I'm trying to think of some other things to do for some of the other squares so if you have any ideas please send my way.
Customer Review: Not challenging
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good quality game, but if you are any kind of wine connoisseur this game will not be challenging enough to make it fun. If you don't know a lot about wine, than you could have fun and learn some things. My husband and many of our friends love wine and it is their hobby, so it isn't enough to keep their interest.Customer Review: Stupid

This game is pretty lame. I bought it for my sommelier husband and it is not fun or informative. We opened the box and checked it out and never wanted to play. Boo.
