Author: Nathan Hall
There are moments when you feel you just want to go to a picnic and if the weather's against you or it's not even summer you can always host a champagne picnic at home. In the following paragraphs, we're going to write about how to organize an indoor picnic, what champagnes to choose and how to serve it. We're also going to discuss foods that go well with champagne.
Get everything you need if you want a wonderful picnic. For a typical indoor picnic, you'll be needing a large room. Bring some blankets and floor pillows. A fireplace would be a great idea but it's not mandatory. Put an ice bucket for champagne, some flutes and appetizers next to every blanket. Also put some towels next to each ice bucket so guests can wipe the bottles dry before they open champagne. It's a good idea to put all the blankets together so that everybody can join to play different games or any other fun group activity.
You should first choose a good party champagne before inviting everybody. A good choice would be any Blanc de Blanc non-vintage, or any other champagnes prepared of mostly Chardonnay grapes. But don't hesitate to choose Rose, as it's a wonderful party champagne and ladies love it. Usually vintage champagnes are very expensive but if you opt for a non-vintage sparkling wine you can find a good price even with important champagne brands such as Moet and Chandon, Bollinger and Freixenet.
When you're buying champagne remember that a bottle usually equals six glasses, so depending on how many people will be there, choose how many you'll be needing. You'll be needing several ice buckets. Before you prepare the ice buckets make sure you've chilled the sparkling wine in the fridge for at least a couple of hours. Fill the buckets half way with ice and then add some water. Put the bottles inside fifteen minutes before the guests arrive. Prepare the appetizers. You might already know that fish suits white wine and champagne, so bring a plateau with fillet fish, lobsters, oysters and caviar. For the afters, you should try chocolate candy or ice-cream and eat it with a sweet Rose.
These are the basic steps to host an awesome indoor champagne picnic. You don't have to buy the most expensive champagne you can get in order to have a good picnic. You can even find renowned champagne brands for inexpensive prices online.
