What makes a great dinner party wine?

 


We have seen a number of people have a wine party in their house and the fun that is had by all. This is a great way to entertain friends and family for all kinds of occasions. Some tips for throwing a great wine party are to make sure that you have a good selection of wines and spirits and to also make sure that you purchase a good food pairing that compliments the wines that you have selected. The most important party drinks to have at a wine party are good glasses.

How to choose the wine you will have at dinner party?

Exclusive Wine – This is most often the wine of the evening. A first bottle that is poured and consumed throughout the meal is best. Only if the first bottle goes with your meal and you are having a second and/or third, you may want to select a second wine. 

Organic Wine – This wine comes from vineyards that are free of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Organic wines are considered a niche market, so you probably won't find them everywhere. 

6 Bottle of Wine Set – A wine set is a collection of wines that are intended to be consumed together. The set comes with a variety of wines, each with different tastes and flavors. 

Wine Gift Set – Wine gift sets are a great way for any novice to start a wine collection or for any wine connoisseur to add to theirs. Wine gifts are a better choice than wine accessories like corkscrews and wine stoppers. Wine gifts are something that can be consumed. 

And they are a great gift because of the range of wines they include. In a wine gift set, you will find a variety of flavors and tastes. Wine gifts can be purchased in a number of different formats.

How to know if a wine is suitable for a dinner party?

To know if a wine is suitable for a dinner party you need to know the kind of food going to be served. While serving wine, you have to take both the food as well as wine into consideration. For example, if you are serving seafood then a crisp and fruity white wine is best recommended. 

On the other hand, if your dinner is going to be spicy, then the recommended wine is a red wine. If the dinner is a formal one then a Bordeaux is the best option. But if you are more adventurous then you can always buy a bottle of wine from an exclusive wine club. It will keep you posted on all the new developments in the wine market.

How to actually open the wine at dinner party?

Nothing beats a nice glass of red wine to relax after a hard day or impress friends and family during a dinner party. This is where #wine comes in. It is indeed a great way to impress your guests with your excellent taste and culinary skills. Here are some tips to open the wine using a wine key, do it right and you'll be the toast of the party. 

Step 1. Remove the foil on your wine bottle. "It's a good idea to ditch the wire or plastic foil-cutter that comes in most wine kits or to invest in a corkscrew that can cut through the double layer of foil and wire.

" Step 2. Insert the corkscrew into the top of the cork. The most common mistake occurs here. DO NOT push down on the corkscrew. Instead, hold the corkscrew firmly and pull the bottle up and out of the wine key. 

Step 3. Push the corkscrew down until the two spiral arms meet again. 

Step 4. Turn the corkscrew counter-clockwise. Turn slowly and carefully, DO NOT crush the cork. Step 
5. Pull the corkscrew and cork out of the bottle. Step 6. Immediately pour the wine into your glasses and enjoy!
