I’ve blogged in the past about puzzles and wine, so I was interested to see this wine bottle puzzle come up on Passion for Puzzles. It’s a fun idea. The puzzle is made to fit the top of a wine bottle. In order to open the bottle, you need to first solve the puzzle. Come to think of it… this might be a good way to keep people from getting into a new bottle when they’ve had a little too much already.
Ever wondered what kind of wine best complements a Sudoku? I just came across the blog of Derrick Schneider who has a passion for food and wine and also happens to be a puzzle designer.
There’s nothing on Derrick’s site about wine/puzzle pairings; I was only joking about that… though I wonder if he’s ever thought about it. Instead, he’s combining his passions in a way that makes a lot more sense. He’s writing puzzles for Wine Enthusiast. Unfortunately, I don’t subscribe to the magazine, but I might take a look at it in the book store. And I certainly hope he succeeds in getting the food and wine crowd into puzzles.
