\nDo you know what pairs nicely with an evening of fun and friends? A bottle of wine (or ten)! Here\u2019s how you can stock up on wine for that house party this weekend. <\/em><\/p>\n

The best thing about wine is that there is one for every mood, every occasion and every palate. But that also means you are spoilt for choice – and picking out a selection for an evening with friends could be a challenge. Here\u2019s how you can make sure your wine party is a hit!<\/p>\n

Time it right<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a wine for every mood. Choose your wines based on the party vibe and you\u2019ll never go wrong. For barbecue brunches pick a Sauvignon Blanc<\/a>, for a relaxed evening with a few close buddies go for Rosa Rossa<\/a>, or pick a Merlot<\/a> for something more vivacious.<\/p>\n

Pick a crowd pleaser<\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember, not everyone is a wine connoisseur. And a party is not a place to educate people on the finer aspects of wine drinking. Make sure to pick something that goes well with anyone, anything, and any mood \u2013 like the Big Banyan Chenin Blanc<\/a>. A sure shot way to get the party started!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about the pairing<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your house party has a specific menu, pick wines that go well with it. Going to serve red meats? Pair them with the Big Banyan Cabernet Sauvignon\u2019s<\/a> intense and complex spice notes. The robust personality of Big Banyan Shiraz<\/a> won\u2019t be overshadowed by heavily spiced barbecue sauces, and the Chardonnay<\/a> is best for cheese boards, salads or fish. If you are serving pasta, there is a wine for every sauce<\/a>, just choose the ingredients and go with it.<\/p>\n

Whoever said less is more clearly wasn\u2019t a wine drinker<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quantity <\/strong><\/p>\n

The usual rule is one bottle per person unless there are many teetotalers or there are other types of alcohol on offer. As a host, it is better to have the problem of plenty than running out of wine mid-party. So add a buffer of a few bottles to your estimate \u2013 you can always save them for later!<\/p>\n

Mix it up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wine is an adventure of the soul. Don\u2019t hesitate to experiment with it. Add more variety to the menu with the selection you already have – whip up some quick yet tempting wine cocktails. Have some pre-party fun and go crazy testing flavor combinations. Chop up fresh, seasonal fruits for a Sangria<\/a> or create some sweet magic with passion fruit and Bellissima<\/a>, or just take it easy with some spiked lemonade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve checked off this list you are all set for the party. It\u2019s time to get on cloud wine. Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
