Yes, you can put together your own “kit” but…
it will take time, effort and certainly more than $10 for you to do so. This kit really is the perfect novice set. It all comes packaged in a very compact game-box like container. The book is handy but not so long-winded or pretentious that your guests couldn’t flip through it quickly (if they so choose). What I really found handy was the stand-up card that gives you a quick “how-to” on tasting wines. br /br /As others have stated, the pads to rate the wines are plentiful. As are the wine glass markers.br /br /All in all, this set would make a great gift and a wonderful starter set for novice or casual wine tasters.br /br /Cheers!br /br /Added 5/27: Finally put the kit to use and it was very handy. I really liked the wine bags — easy to use to cover up the bottles. I’d much prefer that than “foil” or “paperbag” as some wine tasting sites suggest. Guests were interested in where I got it, how much it was etc… so seems like it would be a no-brainer gift for wine drinkers.

Wine Tasting Party Kit
For beginners and novices, this kit was a hit. My guest were impressed with the bags covering the bottles and the tasting note forms. Also, the card tent that gives tasting tips were helpful for the wanna be serious tasters to learn what to taste for. I learned that there is not much in a wine tasting party as long as you have lots food and wine (other than the blind bottles). We blind tasted 6 bottles of red wines of different grapes and varietals and price. The guest rated the wines based upon what they liked the best on a scale of 1 to 10 and logged their preferences on the tasting note forms. We had a couple bottles costing over $60 and one under $15. To all of our surprise, the $25 bottle won! It was all good and fun. All 25 of my guests want another tasting party again, which might be based upon varietals rather then different types of wines. br /br /The kit is made for a small party of about 6 people because the kit supplied 100 tasting note forms. We hardly used all of the forms because about half of my guest didn’t bother rating the wines. However, they knew which bottle they liked and were surprised by the winner at the unveiling ceremony. The bottle bags are a rich burgundy color which were enhanced by the sparkling crystal tasting glasses. It was an impressive table setting. I didn’t have a clue on hosting a wine tasting party. If like me, this kit is a good first start.

Great fun in a box – just add wine!
I’ve used other wine tasting kits and I like this one best. The bags are a nice quality of fabric, the pads where you write your tasting notes have good categories and overall it’s a good price for what you get. There is a lot of extra paper in the note pads so this will last for a long time.

Very Fun
This kit is perfect for beginners. I didn’t have a clue of how to get started in planning a party and this kit took the guess work out of EVERYTHING. However, it is very interactive and I reccomend keeping your guest list small (4-5 people/4-5 bottles).

Lives up to title
The Wine Tasting Party Kit was a real hit and included six reusable cloth bags to hide the wine bottles, rating sheets, and wine glass stem labels. The enclosed book is very basic but can provide a jumping off point to select a theme for your party. A good investment if you want to have a series of parties with your friends.
