Wines for Casual Drinking
If you associate a glass of wine with a stuffy dinner party and beer or a mixed drink for casual fare, we have a surprise for you! A plethora of wines are ideal for everyday enjoyment.
Red Wine Choices
A red wine best suited to casual drinking ought to be smooth, light, with mellow tannins, and balanced flavor. Merlot and pinot noir are both wine varieties that work for a relaxed, pressure-free occasion.
Consider trying 19 Crimes The Punishment Pinot Noir, an Australian wine with 13.5% ABV, a light body with a dry flavor and notes of cherry and strawberry with soft tannins.
For any day of casual drinking, consider the sweetness. Drier wines have higher alcohol levels, and wines with a lower alcohol content are easier drinkers. A fruitier flavor profile also makes for a good casual wine.
White Wine Choices
White wines are the usual choice for casual drinks. They’re generally light, bright, and crisp. Served cold, many white wines provide the refreshing nature we want from a beverage. Pinot Grigio may be the most popular casual wine since its dry, zesty flavors complement light fare like seafood. Sauvignon Blanc is another white wine popular for casual days, perfect for the summer. Allow us to suggest Bertani Due Uve, the perfect combination of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc.
Rosé Wine Choices
Rosé is a great choice in any setting. We’re sure you’re heard “Rosé all day” a time or two, and as with all cliches, staying power comes from the ring of truth. A rosé, having been exposed to the grape skins for a shorter period of time, has fewer tannins. Combine the fun of Champagne with the flavor of rosé by choosing Taittinger Prestige Rosé.
Champagne or Sparkling Wine Choices
From a mimosa at brunch to a toast among friends, sparkling wines are as appropriate at a casual event as they are at a formal celebration. Celebrate with a bottle of Lunetta Prosecco for a dry, refreshing, and fruity flute of bubbles.
If you’re exploring what wine you find is best for casual drinking, have some fun trying out your palate. You may prefer a bolder wine in the end, but as you begin your wine adventures, start light and grow from there. Our team at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits will be happy to help you identify your favorites and your go-to choice for a casual day with a bottle and friends.
