Game Play

Wine Teasers Wine Game is a trendy, educational game that combines trivia, hints, chance, and even the occasional diabolical maneuver to provide a fun and unpretentious wine learning experience. Teams of players answer questions, discuss topics, loot virtual wines from each other and have a fun, educational experience along the way. Wine Teasers’ motto, “The FUN way to learn wine,” describes the game perfectly.

Wine Teasers is different from other trivia games because each question has a big hint. This creates an environment not of one-upsmanship, but instead of lighthearted, cooperative play and learning.

Teams do not hear the hint unless they are unable to answer the question without it. Teams move ahead more quickly if they are able to answer questions without the hint, but the hints guarantee that even wine beginners have a chance to answer questions correctly.

Once a team answers a question correctly, they qualify to add a “wine bottle card” to their team’s virtual wine cellar. Sometimes they are directed to select a specific type of bottle card, sometimes they can exchange cards and sometimes they can loot cards from the other team. The first team that collects one bottle card in each of six categories wins the game.

Throughout the game, players have opportunities to discuss topics and learn. For example, each question has a one-paragraph explanation that is read out loud. Similarly, each wine bottle card has descriptive text and recommended food pairings. Players are encouraged to discuss their experiences with the topics at hand.

Content Style

Wine Teasers content is created by Jennifer Rosen, Cork Jester. Jennifer brings her acerbic wit to Wine Teasers just as she does to her weekly Rocky Mountain News column, her wine books and her other award-winning writing. Wine Teasers content includes a healthy dose of humor, good natured insults and occasional wackiness.

Although the content is lighthearted, Jennifer Rosen’s sommelier credentials and vast experience ensure that the game contains accurate, up-to-date information.

Endorsements

At the heart of Wine Teasers Wine Game are thirty “wine bottle cards” that describe real life wines. The cards are divided into six categories that represent different styles of wines. Each card includes an image of the wine’s label, tasting notes and food pairings. The wine bottle cards were developed in cooperation with major wine producers such as Rober Mondavi, Ruffino, Banfi, Louis Jadot, Taittinger, Harveys, Iniskillin, Concha y Toro, Columbia Winery, W. & J. Graham’s, Monkey Bay and many more.

The wine bottle cards are the game’s prize: answer questions correctly, and your team qualifies to collect a wine bottle card. The first team with one card in each of the six categories wins the game.

Wine bottle cards are also perfect for individual reference or to take along when shopping for wine or wine/food combinations.
