Daniel Post Senning’s Five Tips for Modern-Day Wine Etiquette

  1. Start by planning on serving half a bottle of wine for each guest, and adjust based on your knowledge of the group.
  2. White wine should be held by the glass stem or base to avoid warming the chilled wine with your hand. Red wine is served at room temperature, so the glass may be held at the bowl.
  3. Offer to pour wine for others before you pour for yourself.
  4. Fill wine glasses to their widest point.
  5. When gifting or serving, remember that expensive does not necessarily equal excellent. Find a bottle of wine that you feel reflects your lifestyle and would trust to serve to any guest.

What’s a celebration without a fun recipe?

One of my favorite parts about Santa Margherita Prosecco is that it is a sparkling wine with fine bubbles winding through its bright straw yellow color and greenish reflections.

Its aroma will remind you of peaches and sweet flowers, and its flavor includes fruity hints of pineapples and Rennet apples.
