Wine Wedding Favors on the Rise

More and more bridal couples are choosing a wine theme for their wedding reception. Even if you can't have your wedding in the wine country, you can have a wine themed wedding enhanced by wine wedding favors. There are numerous wine wedding favor ideas including: custom labeled wine, imprinted wine glasses, and wedding wine stoppers just to name a few.

You can personalize wine labels to create a custom labeled wine to use as wedding favors or to give as gifts to attendants, family and out of town guests. You can personalize the labels with your wedding date and names as well as a personal message. You can add your favorite photograph to your label to further customize the label. Depending upon your budget and needs, you can get wines in full bottles or half bottles. At some wineries you can participate in the wine making process and bottle your wine with the help of friends and family. You can even serve your custom label wine at your reception if your venue allows it.

Another option for a wine wedding favor is a personalized wine glass or Champagne flute. You can get glasses or flutes etched or imprinted with your names and wedding date to commemorate your special day. Your text can be enhanced with several wedding style designs like hearts, doves, and wedding rings. To decorate the glasses use ribbon that matches your wedding colors and tie a bow on the stem of each glass.

Wedding wine stoppers have become more popular and now there are more and more options to choose from. Most of these stoppers are made from chrome with a rubber seal to help preserve the wine. You can choose traditional wedding theme wine stoppers with designs like hearts or a bride and groom or you can tailor it to the season of your wedding. There are wedding wine stoppers with fall leaves and snowflakes, for example, if you are having an autumn or winter wedding.

There are also many wine stoppers that can go with a specific theme, like beach ball or sea shell wine stoppers for an ocean front wedding. There also fairy tale style toppers. Most wedding wine stoppers come gift boxed and in many cases you can have tags printed that commemorate your wedding date. Also available are sets that come with both a wine stopper and a corkscrew.

Wine charms are another wine themed item that makes for an inexpensive wedding favor. There are several wedding related wine charm sets available which usually come packaged in a set of four charms. If you want a more personalized option there are wine charms that can be customized with your name and wedding date.

Other wine themed wedding favors include coasters with wine designs and wine scented gel candles that come in replica wine glasses. The gel candles usually come in different wine scents like Merlot or Chardonnay and come in a petite wine glass.

Wine wedding favors can be used to create a wine themed wedding. Additionally these are favors that people will keep, use and enjoy which will remind them of your special day.

Educating Peter: How Anybody Can Become an (Almost) Instant Wine Expert $3.95 Lettie Teague knows wine. She has been the wine editor at "Food & Wine" magazine for almost a decade. The only question she is asked more than "Can you recommend a great wine for under $10?" -- great cheap white: Argiolas Costamolino Vermentino from Sardinia; great cheap red: Alamos Malbec from Argentina -- is "What is the best way to learn about wine?" After many years of fielding these questions, Lettie was determined to debunk the myth that learning about wine is hard. She decided to find just one wine idiot and teach him a few fundamentals -- how to order off a restaurant wine list without fear, approach a wine merchant with confidence, and perhaps even score a few points off a wine snob. Enter her neighbor, good friend and complete wine neophyte Peter Travers, "Rolling Stone" magazine's longtime film critic. Peter Travers proved the perfect Eliza Doolittle to Lettie's Professor Higgins. As a film critic he made bold pronouncements ("This movie stinks," which could be readily translated to "This Cabernet tastes like Merlot") and exhibited a finely tuned visual sense ("The cinematography could be improved" could easily become "This wine is too white"). But, most important, Peter knew almost nothing about wine. As Lettie begins their lessons, Peter puts down his ever-present glass of "fatty" Chardonnay and learns that there is a huge world out there full of all kinds of wine. He is taught to swirl his glass to release the wine's aromatic compounds -- or esters -- above the rim and vows, "I'm going to do that for Martin Scorsese next time I see him. I'll volatize my esters for him." Thus Lettie enlightens her wine-challenged but film-savvy friend about the Facts of Wine: how to hold a glass; the vocabulary of wine; how wine is made; how to read labels; how to tell the difference between grape varieties; how to make sense of vintages; how to glean information about a wine simply by looking at the shape and color of the bottle; and an overview of the great wine regions of the Old World and the New. Finally, after many fact-filled, hilarious lessons, Lettie takes Peter to the most famous American wine region of all, Napa Valley, where he hobnobs with wine and Hollywood royalty and finally puts his new skills to the test in the real world. Part buddy movie, part serious wine tutorial, "Educating Peter" is as much a treat for oenophiles in on the joke as it is for beginners who think Chablis is a brand name of wine.

You'll learn how to make smart buying decisions in stores and restaurants. Leslie also gives you practical advice for pairing wine and food and offers insights on entertaining with wine, whether you're having an informal picnic or planning the most formal of weddings.

Grapes into Wine $13.99 As the first to write a basic book in English on winemaking from the winemaker’s point of view, Philip Wagner has long been considered an authority on the subject, and his book American Wines and Wine-Making has become a bible for small producers and home winemakers in this country. Now, in this completely new version of that classic, Mr. Wagner takes into account the many dramatic changes that in recent years have revolutionized the American wine scene.   With the knowledge that comes from his own experimentation, Mr. Wagner discusses the new, successful hybrids that have now made it possible to grow wine-producing grapes in far more areas of the United States than used to be considered feasible. Once again he covers all the basic technical information, including recent developments important to the small commercial winery and to the home producer—from the choice of the right vines to the vintage itself, the care of the new wines, and finally the bottling of the wine: red, white, and rosé, sparkling and sweet.   There is a new chapter on concentrates for the growing number of people who want to make wine but are not close to a source for suitable grapes, or haven’t the space to work with fresh materials. Mr. Wagner describes what concentrates are, how they are made, what the characteristics are of different types, and what to expect. There are specific instructions on procedure and on the necessary (and unnecessary) equipment.   In addition, Philip Wagner’s introductory chapters on the evolution of the wine grape, on European winegrowing, and on the contemporary scene throughout the United States provide an excellent guide for the consumer, as does his concluding chapter on tasting and using wine. Peppered throughout with a wealth of historical and anecdotal material as well as down-to-earth experience—and full of the author’s appreciation of wine and winemaking as a way of life—this book is not only a useful guide but delightful and rewarding reading.
