Step 1: Select the wines
葡萄酒显然是你的起泡酒派对上最重要的组成部分,选择各种各样的葡萄酒不仅可以确保你为每个人都准备了一些东西, 但也要鼓励你的客人去探索不同风格的起泡酒.
You don’t have to splurge on expensive French Champagnes. 高品质的起泡酒可以在卡内罗斯庄园(Domaine Carneros)等酒庄以更平易近人的价格找到, which employ the same method traditionelle (意思是葡萄酒在瓶中进行第二次发酵),这是法国香槟酒厂使用的方法.
选择干型(如Ultra Brut)和甜型(如semi -sec)的葡萄酒。, or sparklings made with different grape varieties. For example, Blanc de Blancs, like Domaine Carneros’ Le Rêve, are crafted with 100 percent chardonnay grapes, 而黑白葡萄酒则完全由黑比诺葡萄制成. Others are blends. This Sparkling Classics trio is a great place to start, or opt for the Sumptuous Sparkling Sampler for something a little more special.
要想在派对上真正讨喜,可以在混合中加入一些晚吐出来的起泡酒. 这些葡萄酒在瓶中的酒糟(酵母)上花的时间更长, which results in an added complexity and rich, nutty flavors.
在考虑为你的聚会买多少酒时, 请记住,每瓶起泡酒的产量约为八杯. Expect each guest to have at least one drink per hour, 所以把你的客人数乘以你的聚会时间, then divide that number by eight. 你也可以使用在线饮料计算器,比如这个 Evite.
It doesn’t hurt to add a few extra bottles. 没有什么比葡萄酒短缺和剩菜剩饭更能阻止美好时光的了, you get to drink it.
