A bottle of wine is a standard gift, but the Fusebox wine kit from Crushpad goes a bit further. Each set is geared toward groups of four, who learn about D.I.Y. winemaking and then split into teams of two for a game that tests their newfound knowledge about characteristics of grape varietals and wine blending. The box includes seven California wines, as well as tools of the sipping-and-swirling trade: pipettes, recipe cards, tasting placemats, a graduated cylinder, a vinography aroma card, and wine evaluation cards. After learning how to taste and blend various wines, participants compete to guess the components of a special mystery bottle, also included in the kit. Each set retails for $120.
