Best Wine Drinking Games to Play with Friends | For 2, 3, 4, or More People

Most drinking games call for liquor or beer. However, wine lovers everywhere should know they can adapt many of the games to fit their tastes. Wine drinking games are a great way to liven things up.

Wine drinking games can turn a boring wine-tasting party into a party you want to attend, and you may learn a thing or two. Whether you went to college or straight into the workforce, you’ve probably played drinking games in the past.

Classics like Quarters or Never Have I Ever use beer or liquor as the catalyst to the fun. For my wife and I, that poses a problem; we would rather have wine in our glass over a shot of Tequila. Luckily, some wine drinking games are just as fun, if not more so.

Return to your twenties and play wine drinking games with your friends at your next party.

Best Wine Drinking Games to Play with Friends | For 2, 3, 4, or More People

You may remember King’s Cup, but in case you don’t, let’s freshen you up. First, you’ll need a deck of cards and your favorite bottle of wine instead of beer. Take the bottle of wine and place it in the middle of your table.

Take the deck of cards and shuffle. Place the cards face down in a circle around the bottle; they can overlap to make room for them all. Each of you picks a card; the person with the highest card will go first, and then you’ll work clockwise from there.

Each card has a title and action that is to be done when picked.

• Jack “Make a Rule”- Whoever draws this card must make up a rule for the game, like, every time you touch your face, take a drink.
• Queen “Questioner”- Starting with the player who drew the card, going clockwise, start a conversation with only questions. The first person to make a statement instead of a question must take a drink.
• King “King’s Cup”- The player who drew this card must pour the remainder of their glass into the King’s Cup and pour themselves another glass. The loser of the game will have to drink the King’s Cup.

While the name of the game is King’s Cup, you could skip the king card altogether. No one would fault you for not wanting to drink a cup filled with different wines.
