What is a Cheap Decent Tasting Wine to serve at a Wedding?
Selecting the right wine to serve at a wedding and reception is sometimes a tough job. Do you want American or French? How much do you want to spend? Do you want sparkling wine or a nice red?
There are a number of very good, very affordable wines, in 1.5 liter bottles that make it easy to save money and get great wedding gifts. One of the best years for wedding wines was 1995 and that includes both reds and whites and most of them sell at very moderate prices and are readily available at any fine food stores.
It is also a good idea, especially if you are on a budget, to check out some of the countries that have recently become very competitive in the wine markets. Countries like Chile, South Africa and Australia have been making good wines for ages but are just being recognized as wine countries. There are wines in South Africa that date from the 1600´s and 100 year old vintages are common in Chile and Australia. The bottom line here is that wines from these countries are top quality and very reasonably priced when compared to European or American wines.
Some of the better, yet low priced wines available are Buena Vista, a 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon from California that has a full bodied flavor and works well with many entrees. Bridgeview, a 1994 Reserve Pinot Noir from Oregon is very smooth and light, and Meridian 1997 is a Gewuztraminer from California that turns out to be very luscious and sweet. Finally, the sparkling wines are a treat for any table and one of the best is Paul Cheneau Blanc de Blancs Brut that tantalizes the taste buds without burning them out.
