Wine Drinking Games

Can you use wine for any drinking games?

Do you have a surplus of wine lying around, just waiting to be consumed?

What are the best wine drinking games that you and all your lush friends can enjoy?

If you’re looking for a great way to enjoy a drinking game without having to get quite as drunk as you might with other kinds of liquor or alcoholic beverages, wine may be the best bet for you. Using wine in place of beer or hard liquor is the ideal way to keep your drinking party going longer and ensure even the lightweights in the group can have fun, too.

It’s easy to substitute wine for most drinking games, and only the games that specify a certain alcohol must be used often can’t be played with wine. Even in those situations, however, there are usually some variations on the game that can be played with wine.

There may not be a lot of wine-specific drinking games out there, but there are plenty to help you get started. In this article, we’ll show you 5 of our favorite wine drinking games. This way, you’ll have plenty of options to fall back on anytime you’re thinking about hosting a party with a wine drinking game as the center of the activities.
