Why the choice of wine plays a role

Our recommendation: 6 to 10 wines - harmoniously selected and versatiler
A good selection does not start with the quantity, but with the Decision what to do fits. Six to ten different wines are usually enough to cover all the important moments of your day. More choice can quickly become confusing and not only makes it more difficult to decide, but also to coordinate with the kitchen and service. In this case, less is often more, especially if the wines carefully coordinated are.
A semi-dry Pinot Blanc or a Blanc-de-Noir with delicate fruit works perfectly at the reception. Especially on warm days, a well-chilled, light wine for a pleasant start. Dinner can be a little more structured: a Barrique-aged Chardonnay goes well with stronger dishes with poultry or fish. For those who prefer Red wine is set with a soft Merlot that is easy to combine.
The selection should be based on the course of your wedding. Reception, dinner, dessert and perhaps a glass to toast later, every moment has its place. With a manageable but well thought-out wine line you ensure that all guests find something they like. At the same time, the service team remains agile and your menus remain clearly structured.

It therefore makes sense to choose accessible, versatile varieties that will appeal to as many people as possible.

Work particularly well fresh white wines, that have a certain lightness, but not too much acidity. Also a Rosé is a safe choice, especially in the warmer months of the year. It offers color in the glass and is usually uncomplicated to drink. With the Red wines it is advisable to choose varieties that are not too heavy. A soft Pinot Noir or a fruity Merlot go well with many dishes and are easily accessible.
It is important that your guests feel comfortable with the offer. not overstrained feel. Wines with a clear structure, pleasant drinking flow and without extreme corners ensure that the atmosphere remains relaxed.
