it can work perfectly well!

Everyone gets a pencil and a piece of paper with a mix of serious and
humorous questions (Eg Is there a motoring connection to this wine? for
Riesling)

Employ a couple of family teenagers to go round serving tasting quantities
of each wine from bottles with hidden labels.

For the reveal, have someone knowledgeable about wine talking about each
wine over a second tasting quantity - I know that's anathema to serious
wine buffs as things are all in the wrong sequence, but this is fun not
serious.

Then open up for a free for all!

Have prizes for the most correct answers.
