Aperitif time at Christmas kicks off the festivities.
The moment is important, and we want it...
... delicious and sparkling!
Here are some tips for not putting all your budget in the aperitif and having a good time with family and friends!
To avoid blowing your budget, consider offering an aperitif based on sparkling white wine, which will be much more affordable than champagne.
Ask your wine merchant for advice, who will help you discover new pleasures before D-Day. Many choices are available to you in sparkling wines.
We advise you to test a bottle before buying several for New Year's Eve. That way, no bad surprises!
To make the glasses look pretty and the drink delicious, nothing prevents you from adding a red fruit, liqueur or fruit juice of your choice to the bottom of the glass.
My favorite mix is Bellini:sparkling wine and peach juice!
Consider presenting appetizers also colored. Make light, because then there is the meal waiting for you! Crudités, Saint-Morêt bites or sweet and savory treats... There's something for everyone!
You'll save on your New Year's Eve budget by replacing expensive champagne with nicer, more affordable sparkling wine.
Don't buy too many bottles, one is enough for 4 people, especially if you still serve a good glass of wine during the meal (watch out for alcohol abuse!).
