Fun with Wine

It is unavoidable to think about candlelight, fancy dinners, and budding romance when one mentions wine. Wine is so romanticized in the public imagination that it has been put on a pedestal above other drinks. This doesn’t mean that wine cannot be enjoyed beyond smelling it and commenting on how crisp it is. Here are some suggestions on how to spice your wine experience up a bit:

  1. Wine Pong. Who said beer pong can only be played with beer? Have a classy night—and hopefully not a clumsy one—with wine glasses instead of plastic cups. Be careful with the table, though.
  2. Drunken Battleship. A Battleship board and alcohol is all that is needed (cheese and other wine complements are optional). If player one gets the coordinate wrong, he must gulp down a drink. If he gets it right, player two must drink. If a ship is sunk, the losing player must drink double the amount of the ship (a destroyer takes five coordinates, so the losing player takes 10 sips).
  3. Pocky Game. Invest in the romantic capabilities of wine with this game. In the game, two players (preferably going on a date) will chomp down on different ends of a wafer stick until they kiss. The player who breaks away loses and sips more wine. Replace the wafer stick with a stick of cheese, as cheese complements wine perfectly.
