When talking about wines, we usually cannot help but associate it with a romantic encounter. Wine has for centuries been equated with love, lust and luxury. It’s no surprise that, during weddings, wines are always available to symbolize the kind of love that gets better with time between the newlyweds.
Because it’s for a uniquely special and important occasion, it is vital that the wine be carefully and perfectly selected. To enhance the event, the wine should be excellent, and satisfy the newlyweds and the whole group of revelers.
There are details you must keep in mind when buying wine for a wedding reception, so don’t just pick a wine you always buy, or the first thing that you see at the liquor store.
• The rundown of the expected partiers. Get a feel if they they lean toward red or white wine. If you feel the partiers would love to have lots of alcohol available, get both varieties. If you feel the guests will be composed mostly of men, and a young group at that, you may think of buying beer as additional liquor to be served. This can also give you an idea what quantity of bottles of wine you want on hand, thus, your financials will also be part of the equation.
• To be on the safe side, choose champagne instead. Everyone feels tickled to see champagne served, and doesn’t have to be expensive as champagne flutes are never filled to the rim of the glass. If you are sure champagne will be out of your price range or that too many guests might not enjoy its taste, go for a sparkling cider version instead. It’s close to the same taste, but sans the alcohol flavor kicking in.
• For a positively ‘democratic’ choosing of wine, enjoy a wine-tasting party with some members of the entourage. You can opt to hide the names on the bottle and let them choose which ones they want to be served. For budget reasons, you can offer bottles at a cheap price point so whichever they pick; it is sure to be a favorable price.
• With regard to the amount, it is usually better to have extra edibles and beverages ready. It is always better to say ‘yes’ to your invitees asking for more of anything than replying ‘No, we we’re out of wine’. It is a celebration, so you should give things a lot of thought and calculate the numbers so you can stock a bit, not too large a quantity, extra to offer.
• Tell staff to top off only when asked. You don’t need instant refills because a few of the guests won’t finish their second drink. Even though you want your guest attended to, you there shouldn’t be brimming glasses remaining as it might give the wrong impression that not everyone drank or finished their glass.
Wine is a drink that can be enjoyed on usual days but during weddings, wines have a more special and specified symbolization – to bring romance to the revelers in the event.
Being a representation of love, the wine must be served and selected as passionately and boldly as warrants the occasion. So let the wine pour, and in every other gathering where wine is available – cherish life, love and memories.
