Champagne looks chic, tastes great and is always a favourite at parties and
celebrations. But because of that, there is a certain amount of pressure to
“get it right”. So follow these simple tips below and you’ll be impressing your
guests in no time.

Champagne to start:

Champagne is a great choice for welcoming people and it really helps to get the
party started. However, as much as it may seem right to keep the Champagne flowing, try not to go overboard. If you are
entertaining, your guests will probably be drinking on an empty stomach and
having too much Champagne will kill their
appetites. Stick to one or two glasses each. And, even better, serve it with
canapés.

Champagne and fish – a winning
combination:

Champagne also works really well with food – particularly fish. So next time you
are serving sushi, oysters, crab or scallops, think about matching it with a
glass or two of dry champagne. If you like a slightly sweeter Champagne, save your bottle for fruit, such
as strawberries or melon.

Experiment with your champagne:

There’s
a lot to choose from when it comes to Champagne
and you’ll find that if you stick to a well-known champagne you’ll pay a
premium for the name. If you fancy a change (and saving your purse), why not
try an unfamiliar brand or sparkling wine? Just because you’ve not heard of the
name, doesn’t mean that the taste won’t be as good!

Know what you like:

When it
comes to Champagne,
the key is to find out what you like. There’s no point buying a brut (very dry)
Champagne
when you prefer a sweeter (demi sec) style. And if you are a Rosé fan, why not
try pink Champagne
for some stylish, fancy fun?

Serving Champagne:

Serving
champagne is the easy part. Place it in the fridge just 45 minutes before
serving and it’ll be ready to pour. Don’t be tempted to leave it any longer, as
the Champagne
will loose its taste and smell.

Stock up for a toast:

Champagne is the number one choice when it comes to any toast. So whether you are
celebrating a marriage, birthday, anniversary or New Year, you can’t go wrong
with a glass or two of the bubbly.
