Title: Adding A Bit Of 'spirit' To Your Wedding
Author: Chris Morton
Article:
For many people a wedding just isn't a wedding without a
champagne toast. However, many couples are offering alternatives
to champagne with wine and sparkling cider. Yet, how do you know
which champagnes are best and what wineto serve with what food?
Here are some tips and tidbits to help you in choosing the
spirits for your wedding reception.
The Wine Many people choose to serve wine with their wedding
meal. While your caterer will probably have some suggestions for
a specific wine, there choice is ultimately yours. Approximately
30 to 50 percent of couples serve white wine, while 30 to 50
percent drink red wine. Only about 10 to 20 percent of couples
serve a white zinfandel.
So how do you choose which wine to serve? First think about your
guests. More women than men drink white wine, and more men than
women drink red wine. So if you have more women you will want to
serve more white wine. Yet, your entrée also dictates the wine
choice. For instance, Sauvignon Blanc is a good seafood wine,
while Chardonnay is best with chicken, pork, and seafood. Red
wines like Merlot and Cabernet are a good choice if you are
serving beef or red sauce pastas at your wedding reception.
The Champagne Champagne will be an expensive part of your
wedding food and drink budget, because it is much more costly
than wine. Champagne is a sparkling wine that comes from the
Champagne region of France. You can purchase sparkling wines
from other regions, but they cannot carry the label of
"Champagne" unless they come from that region.
Still, champagne is a great way to toast the new couple. Since
most couples have a variety of people offering formal toasts
during the wedding reception, it is a good idea to order enough
for everyone to have two glasses of champagne.
Personalize It Some other couples find that adding a
personalized label adds a nice touch to the wedding reception.
There are many companies that offer personalized labels in order
to offer wine as gifts at the reception or to just add a special
touch to the champagne being poured.
No matter how much wine or champagne you plan on serving at your
wedding, you should also understand that not every person will
want or can have alcohol. Therefore, a fun alternative is to
offer a sparkling cider. There is sparkling grape, apple, and
even apple-cranberry that provide a similar look and feel as
champagne. It is a nice way to make children and non-drinkers
feel included.
