What You Need to Sip, Guess & Crown a Winner

Let’s break it down:

• The Wine – As much as we’d love to throw a Butter vs. Butter blind tasting (talk about a win-win), a proper blind tasting means comparing similar styles. So, here’s the play: host a light wine showdown. Start with the star of the show—ButterLight, deliciously uplifting light Chardonnay with just 85 calories and 40% less alcohol. Then grab a few other light wines from the store and let the tasting begin. Spoiler alert: nothing sips like ButterLight. Your taste buds will definitely know the difference.
• Wine glasses – Because we’re classy like that. Every taster needs a wine glass to swirl and sniff like a sommelier-in-training.
• Blindfolds or Paper Bags – No peeking. Cover those labels so it’s all about what your taste buds say, not the bottle.
  
• Tasting Sheets – Get those notes flowing. Create little cards with spots for aroma, taste, vibes, and a rating.
  
• Snacks on Snacks – Cheese, fruit, crackers, chocolate… basically anything delicious that pairs well with wine.

Set the Scene (aka Sip Like You Mean It)

Make It Extra (Because Why Not?)

• Share Your Thoughts – Go around the table and spill the wine tea. Which pour was the favorite? Which one shocked you? Did anyone nail the guess?
