Alcohol
Wine can be relaxing and is a necessary drink for many celebratory banquets. In Western PARTY, from red wine, white wine to champagne, it is suitable for food pairing in most parties.
In fact, we don't need to worry about "food and wine pairing" because there are various flavors and characteristics of party food. Instead of worrying about "one dish with one wine", we can use the self-help method to divide the number of people attending the party by 2 or 3, which equals to the approximate number of people attending the party. Dividing the number of people attending the party by 2 or 3 will give you the approximate total amount of wine consumed. For example, for a party of 12 people, you can prepare 4 to 6 bottles of red wine, when the guests choose their favorite wines.
Champagne is a festive, celebratory wine, and there are many varieties to choose from. Champagne can be served with any type of food, even neat.
Red wines Chateau Philippe de Médoc Bordeaux is a smooth, elegant wine; Chateau D'Arc de Bordeaux is a smooth wine that goes well with roasted red meats and white meat crusted cheeses; Chateau Richmond Bordeaux is a fruity, spicy wine with low acidity; Chateau St. Méliès d'IJoum is a light ruby red wine with a medium body and rich aromas of galenzi and hawthorn. On the palate, the spices are pronounced and well-balanced; the red wines of the Nunimedoc region of France are rich in minerals, green peppers and sundried tomatoes, which are very distinctive; the red wines of St. Emilion, Bordeaux, are rich in spices and fruity flavors, which make them suitable for grilled beef, game or poultry, or even foods with a heavy spice flavor.

Aerated wines It doesn't hurt to try other aerated wines, and a few dollars can go a long way toward getting you in the holiday spirit. Generally "versatile" white wines, such as Sauvignon Blanc (about $140) and Chardonnay (about $220), are full of flavor and go well with salads, ham, sushi, pan-seared fish, salmon, pasta with white sauce and curry. As for red wines, Bordeaux's Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot each have their own specialties, and pair well with roasted red meats, roasted chicken, satay, cheeses
, aubergine sauces and other foods, as well as neat.
If you can't get enough, make your own fruit cocktail. Prepare 12 strawberries, 1 grapefruit, 2 kiwi fruits, one and a half cups of white wine, one and a half cups of soda water (pop), 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and the right amount of ice. Peel the grapefruit and cut into small pieces and set aside, wash and cut strawberries in half, and peel and cut kiwi fruit into small pieces and set aside; use 2 tbsp hot water to dissolve granulated sugar first, and put sugar water, wine, soda water (soft drink) and cut fruits into a cocktail container and stir, and put in a moderate amount of ice to serve. Try pairing a buffet with a wine buffet for a more cozy and relaxed atmosphere.
Food
Cookies There are a variety of cookies available on the market, including chocolate, nut and strawberry cookies, as well as a special wine-flavored soft cookie, which is easy to buy.
Caviar Caviar should be of uniform particle size, bright in color, intact, and tastes mellow with a hint of ocean saltiness. The easiest way to savor caviar is to make caviar cookies. Spread some butter on a cracker and spread a little caviar on it for a delicious snack.
Foie gras You can buy foie gras or duck liver paté processed in supermarkets. Foie gras is more delicate and juicy in the mouth, while duck liver paté has a richer flavor and is priced at an affordable price. Many foie gras patés are mixed with other liver patés, such as duck, chicken or pig liver, and the price of foie gras patés depends on the proportion of pure foie gras in the paté.
Chocolate Sweet chocolate is of course a must-have in a party. If you like a little more upscale, you can choose Ferrero Rocher, Dove and other imported brands.
Salad Fruit salad or seafood salad. Buy shrimp, cuttlefish, scallops, etc. from the supermarket and cook them, put balsamic vinegar, herbs, salt, black pepper and olive oil, and you have a very delicious seafood salad.
Cakes Cakes sold in supermarkets and bakeries are very tasty, but they are complicated to make and not recommended for DIY at home.
Other foods, such as sushi, Italian snacks, and Chinese dim sum, are not listed here.
