A wine tasting party is an easy and casual way to experience wine in all its glory. Whether you are a white wine lover or prefer your reds, you can follow our wine tasting party tips to host the ultimate wine party your guests will never forget!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selecting Wines<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to selecting wine for the party, you\u2019ll want to select wines within the same theme. You\u2019ll also want to choose wines that fit your and your guests\u2019 price range and wines that cater to your audience. Selecting the wine is the most important part of your wine tasting party. After all, it\u2019s the main event! <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Select wines with a theme:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Choose four to six wines that have a common theme for an\u00a0educational and fun party. Try serving wines from two regions such as a pinot noir from Italy and Argentina. You could also serve the same wine from different vintages or blindly compare cheap to expensive wines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Select a wine in your price range: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When hosting a party, it\u2019s important to keep your budget in mind. If you are on a budget, invite guests to bring snacks and print our free wine cards for note taking. If you can splurge, try the same wine from a few top producers. <\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cater to your audience:<\/strong> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your wine tasting party comes down to one main goal \u2014 to please your guests! If your party enjoys sweet wines, try ros\u00e9 and dessert wines. In contrast, if your guests are frequent red wine drinkers, a cabernet or zinfandel could please their palates.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7813 size-full nopin\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-bottles.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-bottles.jpg 800w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-bottles-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-bottles-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-bottles-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supplies<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine opener<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine glasses<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Napkins<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper placemat\/tablecloth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personal spittoon<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dump bucket<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snacks such as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gifts.com\/blog\/charcuterie-board\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">charcuterie board <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or bread sticks (to cleanse the palate)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Printable wine tasting cards <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Much Wine Do I Need for a Wine Tasting Party?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The standard amount of wine per guest is \u00bd a bottle. If you are having an eight person wine party, consider having five bottles of wine. For those who enjoy bubbles, serve sparkling wine or prosecco to start the party off. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wine Tasting Table Setting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are no rules for a wine tasting table setting, it\u2019s important to provide every guest with a few essentials before they begin tasting wine. Ensure easy cleanup by ordering rental glassware, and be sure to select the wine glass that fits your wine choices. Include something to write with and write on that guests can take home and refer to later on!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Rent glassware<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: If you are hosting for more people than you have glasses, consider renting glassware. Wine glasses are rented for about $1-3, and you don\u2019t have to wash them after. If you choose to purchase glassware, consider fun glasses that you can personalize to your liking. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Choose correct wine glassware<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Depending on the wine you are tasting, the wine glasses will differ. A white wine glass will be thinner in width than a classic red wine glass. Regardless of the glass, you should uphold the standard 6 ounces per pour for each tasting. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Include a pen and wine tasting card: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To host a useful wine tasting experience, include pens and our printable wine tasting cards so guests can document their feedback on the wines. Fill out by look, smell and taste as explained below.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Have a spittoon and water glass: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include a spittoon so guests who\u2019d prefer to spit out rather than drink the wine have the option. Also include a water glass and water jar nearby to cleanse the palate and keep hydrated. \u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7814 size-full nopin\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-wine-variety.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-wine-variety.jpg 800w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-wine-variety-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-wine-variety-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/post-wine-variety-320x240.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/wine-placemats.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7772 size-full nopin\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/wine-button-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"751\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/wine-button-1.png 751w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/wine-button-1-300x80.png 300w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/wine-button-1-350x93.png 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Taste Wine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before getting started, impress your guests with a quick how-to on tasting wine, what to look for, what sort of scents to notice and most importantly what type of wine tickles your fancy. Anyone can taste wine, and it just takes a few steps to determine what you think of each type. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Place your wine glass against a white backdrop (such as your placemat) and inspect the wine. Look at the color, opacity and the wine legs. The wine legs are an indication of the alcohol level, and higher alcohol wines collect a higher density of droplets on the sides of the glasses. Sweeter wines have legs that will flow more slowly down the sides of the glass. The color and opacity will range depending on the vintage and type of wine. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smell<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before smelling your wine, swirl your glass gently to release the wine\u2019s aroma. Then, stick your nose in the glass and take a deep inhale. What do you smell? Are there fruity notes? An oaky or nutty scent? It\u2019s important to think of broad categories first and then center in on a few smells. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three aromas that are classified for the nose of a wines:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Primary Aromas:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Grape oriented: fruits, herbs and floral notes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Secondary Aromas:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Come from wine making and are usually found in whites: include cheese rinds, nuts and stale beer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Tertiary Aromas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Come from aging in bottle or in barrel and include: roasted nuts, spices, leaves, tobacco and oak or cedar.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taste<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly it\u2019s time to taste! Hold the wine in your mouth and slowly inhale air (this should make a slurping sound). This is known as \u201cbiting the wine\u201d and helps to aerate the wine and open up your olfactory sense to awaken the flavors in your mouth. You can determine the body by focusing on what your tongue can feel. The body of the wine is determined by the alcohol percentage. That means a zinfandel is generally full-bodied, while a riesling will be a light bodied or dry wine. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-24697 size-full\" style=\"padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wine-tasting-IG-1.jpg\" alt=\"wine tasting party tips\" width=\"800\" height=\"3065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wine-tasting-IG-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wine-tasting-IG-1-78x300.jpg 78w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wine-tasting-IG-1-768x2942.jpg 768w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wine-tasting-IG-1-267x1024.jpg 267w, https:\/\/giftsblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/wine-tasting-IG-1-63x240.jpg 63w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/holidays-entertaining\/entertaining\/everyday-celebrations\/host-wine-tasting-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real Simple<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelingvineyard.com\/host-wine-tasting-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traveling Vineyard\u00a0<\/a>| <a href=\"http:\/\/winefolly.com\/update\/host-wine-tasting-party-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wine Folly<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/winefolly.com\/review\/the-tasters-guide-to-riesling-wine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/winefolly.com\/review\/how-to-taste-wine-develop-palate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/winefolly.com\/tutorial\/wine-legs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rent.com\/blind-wine-tasting-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rent.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/vinepair.com\/wine-101\/what-is-cabernet-sauvignon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vine Pair\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Round up your group of friends and have them over for a night of wine and good times.
