Fun Variant:
For each wine feature, shuffle all of the Wine Expert tiles of that type, then create a deck from 7 of them. Return the rest to the box.
With this variant you will find a more surprising game with a lot of different Experts and imbalanced decks. This will increase the game tension, fun, and variability.

Balanced Variant:
Select an arbitrary wine feature, and shuffle all of the Wine Expert tiles of that type, then create a deck from 7 of them. After determining the 7 Experts to be in the game, make 3 more decks (one for each feature) with Experts matching the 7 from the first deck. Return the rest of the Wine Experts to the box.
Now shuffle each deck, and place them in their proper spaces on the gameboard.
With this variant, the game will be played with only 7 different Experts and each deck has the same 7 Experts in it, delivering a more balanced game.

Controlled Variant:
Simply choose which 7 Wine Experts you want in the game, and select those 7 for each deck.
Now shuffle each deck, and place them in their proper spaces on the gameboard.
Only use this variant after you have played the game a few times.
