Prosecco<\/h3>\n
When your guests first arrive, you should greet them with a glass of Prosecco as a gesture of hospitality and give an example of the diversity of sparkling wines. Serving Prosecco in a flute will look elegant and help to moderate serving sizes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Move to Cr\u00e9mant and Cava<\/h3>\n
After the initial glass of Prosecco, you should have a variety of sparkling wines available, including Cava from Spain and Cr\u00e9mant from France. Cr\u00e9mant wine is essentially Champagne from outside the official Champagne region. They are labeled according to their area of origin, for example, Cr\u00e9mant de Bordeaux, Cr\u00e9mant de Bourgogne, Cr\u00e9mant de Limoux, Cr\u00e9mant de Vouvray, etc. Buy a selection of wines including at least one of the following: ros\u00e9, sweet wine, and white dry sparkling wine. This will allow you to serve wine according to the individual tastes of your guests.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Champagne at Midnight<\/h3>\n
For the final midnight toast, Champagne is still the wine of choice. Consider buying a vintage Champagne. Most bottles are blended from multiple vintages, but in the best years, producers will sell wines made exclusively from a single vintage. If you can find a vintage that has particular significance for you or your guests, your party will be even more memorable. I recommend serving your Champagne in wine glasses rather than flutes because the shape will enhance the aromas and flavor. Pour the Champagne at about 11:40 pm and pass out the glasses right before midnight to be ready to ring in the new year!<\/p>\n
