Blind wine tasting in Paris: the game that sharpens your palate
Labels are hidden, glasses are numbered: it is up to you to guess. A playful evening with friends that teaches more than you would expect.
At a glance
- Hidden bottles and numbered glasses
- A team game with a final ranking
- Sommelier hints to improve with every round
- 5 wines to discover without preconceptions
How the game works
You taste without seeing the label. In each round, every team puts forward its guesses (style, grape, region), the sommelier gives hints, then reveals the bottle. Points add up: the sharpest, or the luckiest, wins.
- Trust your nose rather than the label
- Spot the main styles of wine
- Argue, compare, and laugh about it
