Choosing the right wine for your wedding You've got the groom, the dress and the church. But do you have the wine? Although the rush of summer weddings seems months away (especially for anxious brides counting down the days), personally-made wine needs time to age before it's enjoyed, so it's never too soon to get started. Wine kits are available featuring grape varieties from around the world. How to choose? First, consult with the winemaker at your local wine store (find a wine store in your neighbourhood at www.rjspagnols.com). Next, select the wine that's right for you by asking yourself these four questions: · What's our budget? Standard wine kits (which yield 30 bottles each) range in price from $80 to $200. · What do we like to drink? Like all elements of your wedding, your wine should reflect you as a couple. You can make wine in an endless number of varieties, from Amarone to Zinfandel-- choose a personal favourite to serve on your special day. · What time of the year is it? For the summer months, consider a crisp white, like a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc from RJ Spagnols' En Primeur Collection. For a fall wedding, why not try a ruby red Australian Cabernet Shiraz Merlot from RJ Spagnols' Cru Select line-- both are award-winning wines, so you're sure to please your guests. · Do we want our wine to symbolize anything? Maybe you met under the Tuscan sun, or got engaged on a trip Down Under. To commemorate those memories at your wedding, why not make a wine from one of the great wine regions of the world? Once you've made your selection, work with your wine store winemaker to get the kit started. In just a few weeks, you'll be taking the wine home to age, serve and enjoy. --News Canada
