Pretentious Wine Table for RPGs
Need a snotty and superior description for a wine (or other drink) in your game? Look no further. (Note that ALL of these are taken from real wine descriptions!)
Roll 2d4 and then roll on the following tables that many times to get your wine’s characteristics.
D6: 1-2 column 1, 3-4 column 2, 5-6 column 3.
Don’t forget to categorise these descriptions within the following sort of things: Aftertaste, Aroma/Bouquet/Nose, Body, Definition, Finish, Midpalate, Palate, Structure, Texture, Undertone
Example:
Taken from the Queen’s personal reserve only five bottles of Synotian Melon-wine remain in existence.
(2d4, total 4 characteristics)
Column 1: Charming
Column 2: Lavender
Column 2: Lean
Column 3: Sweet
Description: The Queen’s-Label, Melon-wine, is a charming little wine with a lavender bouquet, a lean flavour on the palate and a sweet finish.
