Characteristics & Food
Pairing
Want to throw a wine party, but don't know how to do it? Don't fear. We are here to
help you make an unforgettable wine party. The key to a successful wine party is
choosing the right wine and pairing it with the right food. Here is a short and simple
guideline that will help you throw the perfect wine party.
When throwing a party, the first thing to consider is the type of wines you want to
serve. If you are planning to serve only whites, stick to the classic Australian white
wines like, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris.
Once you are done with wines, the second thing you should consider is the food. You
can never go wrong with cheese, fruit and vegetable platter. So, depending on your
choice of Australian white wines choose a food that will pair perfectly with them.

2. For example, if you have decided for Sauvignon Blanc, buy softer cheeses like feta
and goat cheese. There is a rule about wines and cheeses. When preparing a cheese
plate, use odd number of cheeses, for example 1, 3, 5. For small wine party, serve 1
or 3 different cheeses and for bigger 5.
However, do not stick only to one type of wine. Serve more than one, because not
all guests are fan of your favourite wine. For precise wine and food pairing, see the
table below.
