The evenings have gotten shorter, the weather colder, and our desire to be out and about has waned considerably.
Autumn is all about getting cosy, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t still socialise and enjoy yourself too.
In fact, we’ve got the perfect way to do just that.
Host the perfect wine night in for friends, family, or that special someone this season.
Here’s everything you need.
1. The perfect wine, of course
It’s not a wine night in without a gorgeous wine… and even though most people would gravitate towards a full bodied red or a light sauvignon, may we suggest Kylie Minogue Frizzante Prosecco?
Flavoured with hints of wisteria flowers and notes of apple and pear, this fun and fruity vino frizzante is sure to get the party started and conversation flowing.
Its stylish bottle will also add a touch of elegance to the evening – what more do you need?
2. Beautiful food pairings
If you’re serving wine, you’ll also want to be serving cheese.
Proseccos and frizzantes pair best with earthy flavours so stick to soft cheese and you’ll have the perfect combination.
Buttery cheeses like camembert, burrata, and brie are most commonly paired with sparkling wine, while Swiss and parmesan cheese can also be enjoyed as a complimentary bite.
If you’d like something extra, go for some prosciutto di parma, salami, roasted nuts, salty crisps, and salted popcorn to compliment those fruity flavours. You could even make it a pizza party and serve a classic marg, goats cheese and spinach, or parma and rocket.
3. An alcohol-free option
Chances are not everyone will be drinking at your soirée, and if that’s the case, you need to make sure you’ve got a delicious alcohol-free wine on hand.
Kylie Minogue Alcohol Free Sparkling Rosé is made from a blend of organic European grapes and green tea selected from the Liu-Mountains of Yunnan province in China.
Its flavours and acidity mirror that found in wine – and as a glass of bubbly is a historic part of celebrations, even those not drinking should be able to enjoy it.
“Our 0% tastes like the wine you may be accustomed to but without the calories you would expect,” she says. “The colour is gorgeous, the bubbles shimmer away in a champagne glass and it’s delicious. It still feels utterly celebratory.”
4. Ideal ambiance
Make your wine night in an occasion to remember by creating the perfect vibe.
Light a few candles (something spicy for the colder evenings), dim the lights, and pick the perfect Spotify playlist to welcome your guests to your home.
Suggest leaving your phones in another room to fully enjoy the experience, catch up without distraction, and be present in the moment.
5. Great company
