Choosing Personalised Wine for Parties
Entertaining at home is a popular change from dining out in restaurants. More and more people are rediscovering the fun of inviting friends and family over for a get-together. One entertaining option is the home wine tasting party. These are a great way to try different wines while enjoying each others’ company. And to add a special touch to the party, serve from personalised wine bottles and dazzle your guests.
Most people know the basic rules of white wine with fish and chicken, red wine with beef. But there is so much more to wine. There are many wine “experts” who can give you a whole lot more rules, but why not make the rules for yourself? Order some wine, make some appetisers, and send out the invitations.
You can purchase wine-tasting collections such as a white wine collection, and you can even order with personalised wine labels that bear your name and a short message. The collection includes six different white wines like Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. Serve with the appetisers that you cook up or get from a local shop. Most local farm shops have a great choice of specialty cheeses, select some and also include fruit like grapes to cleanse the palette between wines. By the end of the night you may discover the white you like best.
You can also select a red wine collection, also in personalised wine bottles, and find out which red you prefer. The idea is to spend time with your loved ones while you all drink a little wine, dine on some hors d’oeuvres and develop your tastes. And when you serve your guests out of your special bottles, you’ll give the event an elegant atmosphere.
You can plan your little tasting parties over several nights, whites one evening, reds a week later. Or, if you want you can order a collection with twelve personalised wine bottles with an assortment of both red and whites, and have one big party.
Once you discover you favourite red and white wines, you can sample other collections such as a collection of Italian wines and serve several Italian treats. Another idea is to host a late evening, after dinner tasting and serve a variety of dessert wine from your personalised wine bottles. If you have the culinary skills you can make the desserts yourselves. Or you can have a local bakery or caterer create delicious tasty trays to pass with the wines. Just use your imagination to throw a wonderful party that will thrill your guests and maybe inspire them to have a tasting of their own.
Entertaining at home can be as simple or elaborate as you want. You know your family and friends and whether they are the black dress and suits kind, or if they would rather be in jeans. No matter the dress, as long as you’re all relaxed and have fun it should be a great party. And when you pour the collections from you own personalised wine bottles, you will create a memorable gathering.
