(Food-Beverage-News.Com, March 31, 2016 ) Houston, Texas -- When hosting a wine party, there are a few things that need to be considered so that the event will be successful. Here are some tips from experts on how to host worry-free wine parties.
According to Lauren Salkeld of Epicurious, the first step in planning a wine party is to match the wines to the weather—lighter wines in the summer, heavier varieties in winter. Also, it is best to have the party on a Friday or Saturday, when most people can unwind and not have to worry about going to work the next day. If food is not being served, after lunch or after dinner is an ideal time.
Hold the gathering in a large kitchen or at a dining room table, as it provides sufficient room for all the necessary wine supplies. If a large table is not available, make the setup as relaxed as possible in a living room or dining area.
For a group of 6 people, it is ideal to prepare at least four bottles of different wines from local vineyards and local wineries. Otherwise, pick wines from a famous wine region from around the world such as Burgundy, Chianti, Napa Valley, Columbia Valley, Nemea, Santorini, among others, as suggested by Hopewell Valley.
In addition to wine and food (if serving it), here are wine-tasting must-haves:
1. Providing a new glass for each wine removes the possibility that flavors from one wine might taint the flavors of the next, but it is not very practical. Cool water is essential for cleansing the palate between wines.
3. The EJH Group, the maker of the Piedmont 4 in 1 wine opener, suggests the use of its bottle opener with four wine accessories in one. The company states the multi-functional tool with its screwpull corkscrew, foil cutter, wine stopper and pourer will save wine drinkers money and bar space.
4. Arrange one or more buckets or large bowls in the party area where guests can pour extra wine. If white or sparkling wine is being served, set up an ice bucket in the room to save from making frequent trips to the refrigerator.
The Piedmont Deluxe Premium 4 in 1 wine opener is a versatile and multi-functional wine tool that is currently available on Amazon at a discounted rate for a limited amount of time.
