Tips to a Successful in Home Wine Tasting Party

To begin with, it is advisable to pick varietals to taste. It is better to use merlot as it is an easy wine to drink and most people generally prefer it. Go to a wine shop where a large number of bottles are displayed. Buy five different varieties.

While buying, make it a point to see that one of them belongs to a very expensive brand. This will help to raise eyebrows among your guests in the in home wine tasting party. Here is a word of caution - do not mix screw tops with non screw tops.

In the next step, remove the cork covering from each bottle but do not uncork them yet. Write a different letter of the alphabet on each bottle label with a pen on a piece of paper. Mention the price paid on each label.

Next, wrap the bottles in some paper which is opaque and robust. Paper bags from the supermarket will suit this purpose. Remember to do it only one bottle at a time and make it specific to write the same letter on the outside of the paper.

Just half an hour before the in home wine tasting party is scheduled to begin, uncork each of the bottles. Also give a pitcher of water and a bowl of water to let the people discard their wine samples. The best way to do in home wine tasting party is let everyone have the samples as they want and you just observe. After that, every person must rank their choices and then you can start unwrapping the bottles to reveal what they really are. This is when the real fun begins.
