Choosing the right wine for an occasion can be daunting — here are few tips to make it easier:

  • Consider the dessert and whether you want the wine to complement or contrast with it.
  • If your dessert is sweet, consider a sweet wine such as sherry. Port wines go well with saltier desserts.
  • Good wines can be purchased for as little as $15-25.
  • Plan on serving two to three glasses per person, less if the wine is very sweet or high in alcohol.
  • Champagne is a good all-purpose wine for any occasion.
