by Kristian, Kri

The table is set , the food is almost ready butyou are unsure what to serve with it and how you can be certain that you willimpress your friends with the food, wine and atmosphere of your party.

There are loads of reasons why wine will impressyour guests but the best way to make sure that you are serving the best wine toyour friends is to do a bit of research to find out: what will go well with thetypes of food that you are serving; whether the wine should be served cold,chilled or at room temperature and to make sure that any wine that you buy isof a good quality.

A good quality wine will impress your friends orthat someone special. But how do you know that it is a good quality wine? Andhow do you know that it is something that will suit you or your companionspalate?

A great way to find out more about wines is to goto a wine tasting event. Many companies hold wine tasting events across thecountry and they are a great way to get to know wine in more detail. One tip tobe aware of is that some companies only carry a small selection of wines ? somake sure you go to an event held by an independent retailer, that way you canbe sure that there will be a wide range of wines on offer and not just winefrom a particular region or country. At a wine tasting there are three thingsto look out for: appearance, aroma and taste. It is best to taste wine duringthe daylight hours as this ensures that you can get a good look at the colourof the wine that you are drinking. Look out for clear, bright colours. Secondly,make sure you are not near anyone with gallons of perfume on ? you want to beable to smell the wine, not Chanel No 5. Thirdly, don't eat whilst tasting wine? the flavour of the food will taint the flavour of the wine that you aretasting, if you are really desperate for food, have some dry biscuits.

Another way to ensure that the wine that you serveis of a high quality is to buy a fine wine. This is a term used fo wines thathave achieved status within the industry. They can be from on of the world?sfinest producers or from a region which is well known for producing highquality grapes. The best way to get into buying this kind of wine is to seekthe service of an expert. Many independent online wine retailers employ peoplewho can give you this kind of help to ensure that the wine you buy really is ofa high quality.

And one last thing thatwill definitely ensure that the wine you serve will delight your guests is tomake sure you serve your wine at the right temperature. Nothing is worse than awarm white wine! In general a white wine needs an hour in the fridge beforedrinking and a red needs to be served at room temperature. If you haveforgotten to chill your wine and need to do it in a hurry a bucket of ice andwater will bring the temperature down.

Going out for a drink on a date gives you time to get to know one another in an interesting setting if you've chosen well. But the mood can change drastically from your local coffee shop to a bar. People drinking non-alcoholic beverages look and act differently. They're there for a certain mood or experience while those looking to slurp spirits are in a different frame of mind.

When you think of a coffee shop, what images come to mind? When you think of a bar, what people frequent them? Drinking on a date is an important choice to make as it says something about who you are and what you're about so you should take that into consideration when you're looking to make an impression.

You should not drink too much that you lose control or make yourself look bad. If you notice you have some issues with moderation, it's best to stay away from something that will hurt your chances with your date. The same goes for coffee.

Best piece of advice is that everything is good in moderation, and playing it safe, at least on a first date, is always your best move.

At last remember all you can do when deciding what you should be drinking on a date is keep you and your date in mind. After all first impression is last impression so present yourself in a very simple and sober way.
