NTTGP--Wine-themed games for a bridal shower

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I'm helping to host a bridal shower in a few weeks and I could use help with some games.  Since the bride and groom registered for a honeymoon, we decided to host a wine party so we can stock their wine fridge.  Does anyone have any ideas for any easy games that aren't the typical shower games?  There are going to be about 20 guests.  The only idea that I've come up with is to have the wine we serve in paper bags and guests can sign their name on the bag of the wine they think is the most expensive.  Any fabulous ideas?

    You could do a raffle but instead of using sheets of paper with numbers on them, you could write the numbers on corks and hand those out??

    This isn't a game, but the ''thank you gifts'' for the guests could be mini-bottles of wine or a bottle of Two Buck Chuck from Trader Joes. Cheap and cute!

    1st BFP- March 2011. Natural MC @ 8 weeks
    2nd BFP- July 2011.  Chemical Pregnancy
    3rd BFP- Sep 2011. My beautiful son was born May 2012.
    4th BFP-August 2014- Due May 12, 2015

    You could do a 10 question (or however many you can come up with) quiz about wines. The person with the most correct answers wins a small prize.

    If each person is bringing a bottle of wine, have them lined up in a spot that is visible to everyone while they are mingling. Then, when you get to the games section, discreetly put the bottles out of sight, then have the guests write down as many of the wines they remember seeing. The one who gets the most correct wins a small prize.

     Super cute!  I love the wine cork idea!

    I'm making wine charms for everyone either out of pottery or glass.  They would look great tied around champagne splits.  Thanks for the ideas.

    Another really simple one (well, for some folks it may not be).. .is to give the guests a list with the names of various wines and have them guess which ones are red, white, blush, etc., or you could make it a bit tougher and also ask them to guess where that particular wine is made (i.e. in what country, or state, etc.)

    ...just remembered another one we did at a bridal shower I hosted!  

    Cork Toss! (can be done in small groups as well)  Only good if you can get your hands on about 50 corks or so... the guests would form two lines beside each other, facing ahead.  Have a wine bucket about 15 feet in front of each line... the person or team who gets the highest number of corks in the wine bucket wins a small prize.....
