Organizing an Australian wine party starts with a good plan or so my friend says – Order wine online and half of the work is done! An Australian wine parties are unique and the best! It is the best way to relax after tough week, to do something fun, classy, and different with your friends, colleges…Who doesn’t want to have fun?
There is couple of things you should know when you are hosting a wine party. At first, we need a supply plan with type of wines to order, food, decoration and the right wine glasses. One of the most important parts of hosting a wine party is deciding what kind of wines you want to try. There’s no right answer that will please all your guests or lead to a perfect party, but here are some suggestions:
Choose at least 10 types of wines. You can combine red and white wines or to choose just white or red wines. It’s your party! The easiest way is to buy wines online so you can do a little research and look for online wine stores. These are ours suggestions:
- White wine – Chardonnay Sauvignon, Blanc Pinot, Gris Semillon, Traminer, Riesling, Verdelho, Viognier, Prosecco, Moscato, Arneis Frontignac, Chenic Blanc, Pinot Blanc, Torrontes, Gruner Veltiner, Marssane Roussane, Muscat, Varietal Whites or others;
- Red wines – Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot, Noir Variatel, Reds Merlot, Grenache, Tempranillo, Marzemino, Primitivo, Zinfandel, Saluti, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Carmenere, Sangiovese or others you like;
- Sparkling and Rose wines
The next is the food.
- The best combination with a wine is the cheese, fruits, appetizers and desserts. This is a light food but this is all you need. Before you serve it, decorate them and be creative.
- It is not realistic that you’ll be able to give each of your guests a new wine glass. You will need for everyone one longer, less oval-shaped glass for whites and a rounder, larger glass for reds, if you’re feeling up to it. Be prepared to have more glasses than guests, in cases of broking some of it.
- Decoration is very important for your guest to feel relaxed and welcomed. Our suggestion is a white table cloth, candles and vintage details scattered throughout your room. In either case, remember to keep the atmosphere light. Also you can choose a classic music or some other that will make a good atmosphere. It is good to be a different, funny and to organize a thematic party in Baroque style or Romeo and Juliet style or 50’s style… Choose your favorite. Do you have any idea?
When the plan for supplies and decoration is done, you can invite your friends. Optimal number of guests is 10 but you can decide according to your space at home. If you really want to be formal and fancy about it, you can send out creative invitations on their mail. Just remember, 15 to 30 minutes before guests arrive, put reds in the refrigerator. Take whites and Rose wines out a few minutes before pouring.
Now you are ready to party!
