THE DRINKS

Reception

A tiered selection of Champagne & Prosecco

Top tips from our Classic Drinks team

Dinner wine recommendations

BRING THE

BUBBLES No special occasion is complete without a toast or two, and most wedding parties will want to include sparkling wine in their package. Champagne and Prosecco are both popular choices. Consider Crémant as an alternative, a sparkling wine made in the Champagne fashion without the hefty price tag.

Entry Tier MA108 Masottina Prosecco Frizzante

This Prosecco Frizzante is light and refreshing in style with apple, peach and lemon aromas. Fruity and gently sparkling on the palate.

Mid Tier BA150 Ballarin, Crémant de Bordeaux,

A crisp and elegant crémant with aromas of citrus, yellow and green fruit alongside floral notes from Semillon.

The wine has great acidity and freshness on the palate, with intense aromas of lemon and lime fruit.

Top Tier PA100 Champagne Pannier Brut Sélection,

Champagne Pannier's Brut Champagne represents market-leading quality for its price. A boutique style of wine produced by a cooperative of growers, Pannier's Brut Champagne is incredibly complex due to extended lees ageing. Expect layer upon layer of aromas offering citrus and red berry fruit accompanied by dried tropical fruit, brioche, croissant, batched bread and gingernut. The region's unmissable chalkiness is expressed on the finish.

WEDDING MEAL WINES

RED

JA103 Reserve Saint Jacques, Sauvignon Blanc

499084 La Baldosa Garnacha-Temranillo

Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for those who love freshness in wines.

Dry, fruity and fresh with flavours of lemon, lime, Granny Smith apple and fresh leafy herbs.

This is a full-bodied red wine with firm tannins that will compliment darker meats and bold flavours. Gorgeous intensity of luscious red fruit flavours.

499109 La Baldosa Verdejo-Sauvignon Blanc

495856 Château Pascaud, Bordeaux Supérieur

A refreshing and lively white blend with lime and green apple aromas, that will pair beautifully with white meat, fish and seasonal salads.

This Bordeaux Supérieur offers outstanding value for money, with aromas of red and black fruit and hints of cigar box, vanilla, cedar and coffee too. This is unusually sophisticated and sumptuous for a wine of Bordeaux Supérieur quality.

j French classics earn their title for a reason.

Sauvignon Blanc and Bordeaux stand out as timeless choices for weddings, offering significant versatility in food pairing.

TOP TIPS

j

Help potential customers get the best possible experience by offering extra services: additional courses, paired wines and late-night snacks can all contribute to a bigger take-home at the end of the day. The more you can offer, the greater the potential for sales you can generate.

Don’t undercut yourself when building your pricing structure, but do be reasonable: there’s a fine line between profitable margins and off-putting prices.

Remember that wedding couples will be comparing a range of venues before making a final decision, so do your research on the competition: find out how much other wedding venues are charging so you can make sure you’re not priced out of the running.

Top cheese board building tips

Top CHEESEBOARD TIPS THE POWER OF THREE Base the plate around three different kinds of cheese, making sure there’s a balance amongst types of milk (cow, sheep or goat), textures (hard, semi-soft, soft), and styles of cheesemaking (bloomy rind, washed, rind, blue, Cheddar-style, etc.)

A CUT ABOVE Add crackers, biscuits, bread sticks toasted bread slices for crunch; fresh fruit like berries, pear, apple, grapes and figs for freshness; nuts like pistachios, walnuts and hazelnuts for texture; dried fruits and honey for sweetness; and chutneys to elevate flavour.

ALL THE TRIMMINGS When cutting cheese, it’s best to think of whole wheels (whether they be round, square, or cylindrical) as if they were whole pies. Each should be divided in half first, and then into measured wedges.

PORTION CONTROL It’s easy to go overboard but take care when arranging your cheese plates to maximise your margins. Consider including approximately 30g of cheese per person.

Bulk your boards up with cheaper added extras like crackers and fruit.
