Wine-opoly
Board Game

Although
you shouldn’t need an excuse to pop open a good bottle
of vino for friends, Wine-opoly will certainly give you the
opportunity. After all, how could you play this Monopoly variant
without sipping on a glass of one of your properties? Instead
of places, players can land on types of wine—the least
expensive property is “Sangria” while the priciest
is “Champagne.” Other properties range from "Chardonnay"
to "Gamay" and include both reds and whites. When
players land on the “Red” or the “White”
space, they must draw from a stack of cards and learn that
they’re “starting a home wine cellar—lose
one turn for construction” or that there’s “red
wine on your little black dress—pay $50 for cleaning.”
The dreaded “go directly to jail card” has been
reinterpreted as “you need to ferment—go directly
to Wine Cellar.” But this wine game is not all fun and…games,
for on the back of each property card are facts about the
type of wine featured on the front. Learning some facts, drinking
wine, enjoying friendly company—what could be better?
