It's about having fun whilst learning about wine!" Key features of the game include blind tasting and the testing of wine knowledge through answering experience questions of varying levels of difficulty. Each player is the owner of an internationally acclaimed vineyard. The objective is to convert the yield from your vineyard into wine and sell it at market as you travel round the board. The money that you make enables you to improve the profitability of your own vineyard and give you an opportunity to buy other players' vineyards thus ousting them from the game. There are two ways to win the game; 1) successfully take over two other vineyards and thus corner the market or 2) be the last player left in the game with any cash.
