What is the best wine for wedding gift?

[Jhon Smitch]

My wife and I do not drink wine. We are going to a wedding for some people who love wine. We were wondering what is the best type of wine to give for the wedding gift. We are hoping for a limit of $60 (what can I say, times are tough for us all). Thanks!

Hiii,

When the subject of weddings come up, visions of meaningful wedding toasts and wonderful, bubbly Champagnes often come to mind. But which Champagne should your offer at your wedding? What about the best wedding wines to serve and savor on your special day? If you are a Wine Lover and are hoping to incorporate your passion for the vine into your big day there are plenty of unique and creative options to do just that! A Marriage of Food and Wine
For starters, consider what flavors, styles and varieties of foods you will be serving at the reception, then you can pair specific wines with the selected foods to bring the unique flavors out the best. If you are planning on serving several types of wine in addition to champagne you may consider a combination of whites and reds. The ever popular Chardonnay, the wine world’s current favorite white wine, or a cool crisp Riesling would more than fit the bill for the white wine category. As for red wines to consider, Cabernet Sauvignon is always a party hit for red wine drinkers, or for those who prefer a softer red with more versatile food-pairing options, a Pinot Noir would be a perfect pick. Last, but not least, you may consider serving a few bottles of White Zinfandel (I can hear you, hard-core "real" Wine Lovers groaning), but the fact is White Zinfandel has a following and many of those followers find themselves at wedding receptions!


Thanks
