An in-depth knowledge of wine can enliven humdrum dinner parties, just as an in-depth knowledge of dynamite fishing can enliven foundering job interviews. Give palates an executive education with today’s Groupon: for $59, you get an in-home wine-tasting event for up to 16 people from Wines for Humanity (a $250 value), available in Oakland, Livingston, Genesee, Macomb, and Wayne Counties. Wines for Humanity's professional wine advisers lead in-home tastings that teach patrons the finer points of the five-point wine-tasting technique and raise funds for local charities. As students sip seven exclusive vintages, they learn to judge wines color, aroma, and voting record, as well as pick out suitable food pairings.

Wine for Humanity will bring glasses and deliver wines to the home before the tasting event, and hosts are encouraged to prepare complementary cheese and crackers. Wines will be available for purchase, at an average of $20 per bottle, and for every bottle of wine purchased at an event, Wines for Humanity will donate $1 to local charities that help to pay rent for families on the brink of homelessness. Bringing together a small circle of oenophiles for a reason other than the World Series of Cork Popping, tasting events serve charity while enlivening conversation and increasing knowledge of fermentation facts.

Wines for Humanity's professional wine advisers lead in-home tastings that teach guests the finer points of a five-point wine-tasting technique, all while raising funds for local charities. As students sip several exclusive vintages, they learn to judge wines' colors, aromas, and voting records, as well as pick out suitable food pairings. Before the tasting event, Wines for Humanity will bring glasses to the home while selected wines will be delivered by a local retailer in the state of Michigan, and hosts are encouraged to prepare complementary cheese and crackers. Wines that are selected for tasting run at an average of $20 per bottle.

The Groupon Guide to: Cheating at Board Games

A rainy afternoon of board games is a great way to shred a family dynamic or discern who in your social circle has other issues in their lives that drive them to hound petty victories over their friends. Tip the balance with this guide to board-game cheating:

Scramble (Harsbo, 1948): In this game, billed to the scant demographic of literate children in the 1940s as “the crossword puzzle you build yourself,” you can easily secure victory by preemptively removing any dictionaries from your home and inventing long, complex words with vague definitions, such as quizlix: “a medical term, often used by highly intelligent Scramble players.”

Boatleshoot (Marshall Bradford, 1967): This guessing game of naval warfare is just like regular warfare—once you’re surrounded by it, there are no rules. Every time your opponent guesses a point on your grid that is a “hit,” reply instead “miss.” Your board is, after all, obscured from their view and in international waters, there is no honor system.

Chess (sixth century AD): If someone invites you to play chess, they have revealed three crucial weaknesses: they know how to play chess, they enjoy playing chess, and they have spent enough time practicing to have an expectation of victory. Cheat at chess by punching them in the face and taking anything they have that you yourself want.

What are some sure-fire ways to win at chess?
