Moments to create together

Simple ideas with wine to break the routine.

Activities to play while you drink.

Game

Blind tasting for two

Three covered wines, two glasses, and lots of laughter. Who has the best palate?

1. Cover 3 bottles with paper and label them A, B, and C.
2. Taste each with blindfolds on.
3. Guess the type, grape, and approximate price.
4. Whoever guesses the least prepares the next dinner.

We did it!

Conversation

Questions for each glass

One question before each sip: the conversation becomes honest without even realizing it.

1. First glass: What did you think of me the first time you saw me?
2. Second glass: Which of our moments would you relive entirely?
3. Third glass: What would you like us to do together this year?
4. End with a toast and no looking at your phone.

We did it!

Game

Secret scoring

Each of you secretly scores the wine and dinner. Reveal simultaneously, like in a competition.

1. Score aroma, taste, and "would we repeat?" from 1 to 10.
2. Write down notes without showing them.
3. Count to three and flip the papers.
4. Save the month's winner in your cellar.

We did it!

Challenge

The surprise menu

One chooses the wine, the other decides dinner. Neither knows what the other is bringing.

1. Draw lots for who buys the wine and who buys the food.
2. No hints until dinner time.
3. Discover everything simultaneously on the table.
4. Note whether the pairing was perfect or disastrous.
