For our wine tasting, each guest brought a bottle of wine that had an unusual name or was from an unusually named winery like "Funky Llama", "Instant O", "Yellow Snow" or "Pompous Ass Red". It unknowingly also encouraged buying local/regional wines because many of the big name wineries use more serious titles; it also brought in a great variety of red, white, and rose wines.
I also asked guests to keep the price of the wine around $10 so that no one was putting out a large amount of money. Everyone certainly got their money's worth with the amount of wines that we all tasted.
