Quantity of Wine to buy online

For a home party, five or six wines make an interesting tasting. There may hardly be less than four - and more than six may present some problem as far as space, service, glasses and other details are concerned.

For tasting purposes very little of each wine (no more than one or two ounces) is poured into the glass. A regular bottle contains about 20 servings. In most cases, therefore, half bottles are preferred.

If food is served after the tasting, it is a good opportunity for the guests to have a second taste of the wine and see how they compliment the food. In such cases, wines are bought by the bottle instead of the half-bottle.

Presentation of Wine you can buy online

People can go about tasting French wines any way they want. but for the taste not to be blunted, it is much more interesting to follow a logical order. It helps, therefore, to present

1. first the dry whites

2. then the rosés

3. then the reds

4. last the sweet one

The bottles may be arranged in any way which is convenient. either on a large table, buffet style, or on several different tables on which they are grouped by category. Bridge tables are good for such an arrangement and they don't take up too much space.

What food to present with a tasting is a matter of personal feeling. It may be as little as plain Melba toast or slices of French bread to bite between two different wines. Cheese and wine go so wonderfully together that a tray of cheeses with Melba toast, or French bread, is one of the most pleasant accompaniments to a wine tasting. Of course, cheese is not served with the very sweet wines.

A large array of glasses on a table is always a brilliant sight. but few households have that many glasses. If the number of glasses is limited. it is a good idea to keep a large bowl, filled with water. on each table for the guests to rinse out their glasses after having tasted one wine. before going to the other.

Special glasses are not essential to the enjoyment of a good wine, however, an “all purpose" glass is perfect for wines of all kinds.
