Couples naturally want their wedding to be perfect. today's brides and grooms seek more sophistication in the beverages they serve at their reception, with wine playing an increasingly large role. Nevertheless, tasting and choosing the wine for your own wedding is an important and challenging job.
When planning a wedding or any important event, attending to the details can make all the difference in how memorable your special day is to you and your guests. Choosing the wine is an important detail. In addition to sampling the wine ahead of time, there are many other things to consider when choosing the wine for your wedding reception. You may should think about these question :
About your guest : What kind of wine do your friends and family like ? Do they prefer red, white, rosé, sparkling, or a dessert wine ? Would your guests enjoy one or two really nice glasses of wine to sip as they socialize?
About time of day : Are you having a day or evening wedding ? People may drink a little less at an afternoon wedding than at an evening affair.
About menu : Are you trying to pair the wine with the food ? Is seafood or chicken on the menu ?
About time of year : Is your reception scheduled for the middle of summer or the dead of winter ? The season could make a difference in what wine you decide to serve your guests–are you trying to warm them up or cool them off ? If you are hosting an outdoor reception and the weather is expected to be warm, plan accordingly and serve a refreshing, lighter wine
About your budget : you need to consider cost. If you are bringing in your own caterer, you may have more wine choices than with an all inclusive package. However, there may be room to negotiate the wine expense up front in a package deal.
About wine temperature and decanting : Make sure the wine you choose is served at the correct temperature so that the wine will taste its best. In my opinion, most white wines are served too cold and most reds and rosés are served too warm.
About glass : Serving wine in a glass made for that specific grape varietal can enhance the flavor as well. Many reception places may not have different wine glasses for different types of wine, but it’s worth asking the question. It can make a big difference in the bouquet and taste of the wine.
Buying wine in bulk—by the case—can save you money. But not all venues or caterers allow you to choose or bring the wine, so check with everyone involved before purchasing. If you need find the wines for your wedding, please check out http://www.gourmetcentral.info/wine/
