Summary:
1. Understand the people:
Check if people who drink with you have special preferences for wine, such as regions, grape varieties and brands and pick the ones that fit their taste.
2. Mind your budget:
Look for good value picks that are not necessarily very expensive but still delightful to enjoy.
3. Approachable:
Each of the party’s participants may have their own palates. An approachable wine that is easy to drink would be more popular among both beginners and wine lovers.
4. Easy to pair with food:
It’s usually not known what food will be served in the party. That’s why choosing a wine that can pair well with more diverse range of food would be less risky. To show how thoughtful you are, you may also prepare your own snacks, such as Parma Ham and Salami, to enjoy with wine.
5. Wine type recommendations:
Whites – New Zealand’s Sauvignon Blanc. Fruity, fresh, aromatic, it is attractive and easy to accept even for people who don’t often drink.
Reds – Chile’s Cabernet Sauvignon and Australia’s Shiraz. Both of rich fruitiness, easy-to-drink and attractive.
