You have your wedding dress, accessories and food selected for the day. The big day is coming and you still need to choose wine for your guests. Many brides want to have a great selection of wine at their wedding for their guests, but many don't know the best wines to choose. Most want to select a wine that is enjoyable and that guests will love. Here are three ways to pick a great wine for your wedding. 

1. Ask For A Recommendation

You will want to select the right wine for the right food. You can ask a wine connoisseur which wine goes with the dish you are serving at your wedding. If you are serving chicken, fish, beef, pork or a vegetarian meal, there are different wines that you should choose. This guide by Firstleaf will answer all the technical questions you may have so you can get the right wine for your wedding.

2. Read The Bottle

The bottle has information on it that may help you. There are stamps of approval or awards. There may also be information about the aging process and region the wine comes from. While this may not be understood by many, you can do further research to see if it will be good for your wedding. 

​3. Swirl, Sniff & Taste

Swirl and sniff may be "wine words" you have heard, but they can help guide you to great wine. The swirl part has more to do with the total alcohol content, but it can help to “open” the wine for better sniffing. Generally speaking, the better the smell, the better the wine is going to taste. If a wine smells bad to you, you’re not going to want to taste it. For any wine to be enjoyable, the taste and smell have to work well together.

There are many great tasting wines available. You want to serve the best wine to your guest. Do your research to find the wine that will complement your food choice for your wedding. Good luck in your wine search!
