Code-Cracking Wine Games

The Vino Vault Puts a Fun Spin on Dinner Parties

— April 25, 2012 — Unique
With Vino Vault wine cryptex you can taunt your friend with the prospect of wine. The Vino Vault requires a code to be cracked before its contents can be enjoyed. Featuring a five-letter word combination -- chosen by whoever is giving the wine -- this gift can be both entertaining and frustrating, depending on the difficulty of the word and the clues provided. Because the code can be reset over and over, you could re-gift it or pass amongst a circle of friends

Once solved, Vino Vault becomes the centerpiece to a free companion dinner/wine party game known as Spin the Bottle. It is a fun trivia game similar to Trivial Pursuit or clue, during which participants at your next dinner party bring food pairings with wine to taste and trade as part of the game. Everyone goes home with a different bottle, but the better you are at code cracking, the better chance you’ll have of taking off with the vaulted wine.
