Book Reviews of WineSmarts, Vol. 1
Book Review: Nice game to learn a lot about wine.
Summary: 5 Stars
This game has 100 flashcards and a pad of score sheets. The cards have questions and then multiple choice answers or true/false. There are 25 questions about grapes, 25 questions about regions, 25 questions about vocabulary, and then 25 wild card questions.
The grape questions refer to characteristics of the grapes you're most likely encounter. The region questions highlight wines from some of the major wine-producing regions. The vocabulary questions defines useful wine terms. And then the wild card questions include history, trivia and other choice bits of information.
The guidelines for the games includes having teams and then each team must answer correctly. If the question is answered correctly, place an x on the score sheet in that category. The winner is the team who answers 3 questions correctly from each category.
You could also use The Wine Deck: 50 Ways to Choose, Serve, and Enjoy Great Wines (Discerning Tastes). Those are flashcards but with no answers.
Overall a great game and would be nice to play sitting around with friends tasting bottles of wine. It is also a good learning tool if you just use the flashcards. It would be great for a geography of wines teacher to use in the classroom.
