Your Wedding Wine Options

Arguably, the food and wine tasting for your wedding menu is one of the most fun parts of planning. Of course, not all couples will decide to have wine Wine bottles 1at their event, but if you do, make sure to ask your caterer about his or her venue’s full wine list.

There are certain wines that are traditionally served at weddings, but if you want to break away from tradition, just a little bit, keep these types of wines in mind:


Red

  • Syrah or Shiraz. A very popular, darker grape, with a powerful, full-bodied flavor.
  • Malbec. Grown around the world, the Malbec grape is known for having a slightly plum flavor and blended with other red Bordeaux wines.

White

  • Sauvignon blanc. This green-skinned grape is found in many dessert wines and has a range of tastes from mildly bitter to almost tropical.
  • Moscato. Moscato is really a derivative of the word muscat - a family of grapes. Typically sweet in taste, this wine can range from a very light color to a very dark color.
