The elegant Champagne toast from a couple\u2019s close friend or family member is one of the wedding reception’s most cherished and awaited moments. However, ensuring the Champagne reaches that point in good shape can be tricky.<\/p>\n
Wines and sparkling wines need serious attention, from the types you select to how you store and serve them.<\/p>\n
To ensure your wine maintains its delicate flavor until the reception, here\u2019s our guide to help you understand how to store it correctly.<\/p>\n
With its varying colors, flavors, and textures, wine is undoubtedly one of the favorite wedding must-haves, mainly because it allows your guests to choose what they like. With each bottle price ranging between $8 to $50<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise that most couples also choose wine as a cocktail option!<\/p>\n Plus, you can add a creative flair by serving wines that pair and complement your menu options. Imagine the combination of Cabernet Sauvignon with fresh blueberry pies<\/a>, and Prosecco served with charcuterie board-inspired appetizers.<\/p>\n Some typical red wines at weddings include Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, which should be stored at a temperature ranging between 55\u00b0F and 60\u00b0F.<\/p>\n The storage temperature for lighter wines like ros\u00e9, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc is slightly colder than reds. So, a still white wine will remain intact when stored between\u00a043\u00b0F and 52\u00b0F.<\/p>\n Champagne, Prosecco, and sparkling ros\u00e9 add a sophisticated touch to any wedding celebration. The recommended temperature for bubbly wines<\/a>\u00a0also ranges between 43\u00b0F and 52\u00b0F.<\/p>\n We know not everyone will have a wine cellar at their disposal. Still, ardent wine enthusiasts will have a room dedicated to their wine, and it\u2019s designed with materials, flooring, and cooling that create optimal conditions for wine storage.<\/p>\n If you choose a wedding venue with functioning vineyards<\/a>, they\u2019ll surely be able to accommodate your wedding wines and keep them in good shape for your big day.<\/p>\n Although it\u2019s relatively smaller than a wine cellar, storing your wine in a cooler will allow you to maintain an optimal temperature. However, keep in mind that you cannot it has limited rack capacity for your bottles and some are unable to control the humidity.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have too much wine for your best, this is the smartest option as it takes up very little space and is quite inexpensive.<\/p>\n A wine cabinet or fridge storage is one of the most efficient options since it doesn\u2019t cost much and offers complete temperature and humidity control to protect your wine until the day of your ceremony.<\/p>\n Fridges and wine cabinets have far more storage capacity than coolers, some of the largest being able to store around 200 wine bottles.<\/p>\n If you have none of the above and need to keep a large amount of wine from spoiling, off-site storage designed to maintain wine-friendly temperatures and conditions is a sensible option.<\/p>\n Of course, you\u2019ll usually have to pay for utilities and maintenance and any delivery charges if you ask that they deliver the bottles to your venue location.<\/p>\n When you join online wine shop WTSO’s Case Club<\/a>, however, you will receive FREE storage in their temperature-controlled facilities until you’re ready to ship! Take advantage of these membership perks and store your wines as long as you need.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve decided to select and shop for your wedding wine collection yourself, there\u2019s no doubt the whole process can get confusing with all the options.<\/p>\n We hope our guide has given you direction on what to choose and how to store it so your guests savor their favorite wines without any complaints!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The elegant Champagne toast from a couple\u2019s close friend or family member is one of the wedding reception’s most cherished and awaited moments.
