Make Every Toast Count on Your Big Day
A wedding is more than just a ceremonyāit's a celebration of love, connection, and unforgettable moments. From the pre-ceremony clinks of glasses to the grand finale of desserts, wine plays a central role in setting the tone and delighting your guests.
But with so many wine options available, how do you choose the perfect bottles for your once-in-a-lifetime event?
In this guide, weāll explore how to select the right wines for every stage of your weddingāwhile introducing a few standout bottles from our online wine shop that offer elegance, balance, and affordability.
š„ The Welcome Toast: Let the Celebration Begin
Every great party begins with bubbles. Whether you're hosting a garden wedding, a rooftop soirƩe, or an elegant ballroom banquet, a good sparkling wine instantly lifts the mood.
We recommend Encontro Special CuvĆ©e Brut 2017, a refined Portuguese sparkling wine that balances citrus notes, toasted brioche, and fine bubbles with crisp acidity. It's festive, stylish, and affordableāperfect for welcome drinks and cheerful toasts.
š½ļø Dinner Wines: Elegant Reds and Whites for Every Dish
As the main course is served, the wine pairing should harmonize with the menu, enhance the flavors, and please a wide range of palates. A classic red-and-white combination is often the safest and most inclusive choice.
For the White:
Casa de Santar Reserva White 2018Ā ā With bright citrus and white floral notes, this Portuguese white wine offers freshness and subtle oak complexity. It complements seafood, grilled chicken, and creamy pastas with finesse.
For the Red:
Cabriz Colheita Selecionada Red 2018Ā ā A silky, medium-bodied red with black fruit, spice, and soft tannins. This versatile wine is ideal for pairing with roast meats, pasta Bolognese, or even vegetarian mushroom dishes.
Both options are crowd-pleasers and affordable enough for larger quantities without compromising on taste.
š· After-Dinner Magic: Sweet Wines for Sweet Moments
Donāt overlook the dessert course! A thoughtful dessert wine elevates the final moments of the evening, whether you're serving cake, fruit tarts, or a cheese board.
Grahamās Blend N.12 Ruby PortĀ ā Vibrant, youthful, and bursting with ripe berry fruit, this Ruby Port is a showstopper with dark chocolate, tiramisu, or berry desserts.
Moscatel Casa Ermelinda FreitasĀ ā Fragrant and floral, with notes of orange blossom and honey. This sweet wine is a beautiful companion to Chinese wedding pastries, almond tarts, or even panna cotta.
Not only do dessert wines create a delicious finale, they also bring a sense of intimacy and celebration to the close of your big day.
š” Why Portuguese Wines Are Wedding Heroes
Planning a wedding often means balancing quality with budgetāand this is where Portuguese wines shine. Portugal offers world-class wines with distinct character, often at more approachable prices than French or Italian equivalents.
