This guide shows you how to pair wine and other drinks with your Borrelplank vrouwen for a perfect taste experience.
Select the right wines
Choose an assortment of red, white and rosé wines that perfectly match the different flavors of the snack platter. For the cheeses on your platter, choose a nice red wine such as a Merlot or a soft Chardonnay that goes well with a creamy brie. For the meats, we recommend selecting a strong red wine such as a Cabernet Sauvignon. And don't forget the dips! Choose a fruity rosé wine to combine with the fresh flavors of vegetable dips or a dry white wine for the saltier dips such as hummus. This way you ensure a perfect wine-food combination for your snack platter!
Consider sparkling wines
Serve some sparkling wines like Prosecco or Champagne with your drinks platter. Create a festive atmosphere with these sparkling drinks. Pour them into beautiful glasses and enjoy the refreshing bubbles! Perfect for celebrating special moments or just to spice up a cozy get-together. Make your guests extra happy with this delicious addition to your drinks assortment. Cheers to coziness!
Add craft beers
Add craft beers to your snack platter! Remember to pair craft beers with the various flavors on the platter. Try to select beers with different hop and malt compositions, as these can pair surprisingly well with the various snacks and cheeses. For example, try a hoppy IPA with a spicy cheese, a fruity blond ale with nuts and dried fruit, or a robust dark ale with chocolate with an intensely flavored cheese. Experiment and discover which flavor combinations take your snack platter to the next level!
Try a selection of spirits
Experiment with different liqueurs, whiskies or other spirits to add an extra dimension to your cocktail board experience. Choose a few interesting options such as sweet liqueurs like Amaretto, spicy liqueurs like Sambuca, or refined single malt whiskies. Pour small tasting glasses for you and your guests to enjoy the different flavours and aromas. Find a balance between the spirits and the nibbles on your cocktail board – think digestives to end the meal or aperitifs to whet the appetite before the main course. Let your taste buds explore and enjoy the variety of spirits to make your cocktail board an unforgettable experience.
Match non-alcoholic drinks
Make sure to offer a variety of non-alcoholic beverages. Think of different types of juices such as orange and apple juice, soft drinks such as colo and fresh spring water. Don’t forget to also include non-alcoholic wines or sparkling drinks for guests who prefer a more refined option. Make sure these drinks are clearly visible and easily accessible to all your guests. Give them the opportunity to enjoy a delicious drink without alcohol.
Serve in the correct order
Always serve your drinks in the right order to fully appreciate the flavours. Start with lighter options such as sparkling wines, light beers or aperitifs such as Campari or Martini. These fresh and refined flavours activate your taste buds and prepare you for what is yet to come. Continue with white wines or lighter beers to slowly build up the taste experience. Then you can move on to red wines or more complex beers. Finish with stronger spirits such as whisky, cognac or liqueurs. This way you give your guests the chance to fully appreciate the different flavours and enjoy a well-balanced tasting.
