Summer is well and truly here and there’s nothing quite like opening a bottle of wine, enjoying the fresh evenings and sharing some stories. There are loads of opportunities to enjoy time together, even if things are still a little bit strange right now. What’s your favourite choice of wine for the summer months? A fruity Chardonnay with hints of tropical fruits? A flowery Rosé with delicate notes of watermelon and strawberry? How about a complex red with cherry, blackberry and raspberry aromas? It could even be a premium sparkling wine which is ideal for toasting an engagement or a new baby you’ve not yet met. Let’s have a look at some great ideas of how to enjoy your summer wine and what wine you should be drinking.
The Staycation
Many of us are enjoying the holidays at home this year. Whether our annual vacation abroad has been cancelled or we’re just taking precautions and staying at home, the staycation still offers plenty of opportunities to make memories. If you have some trees in your garden, how about hanging a hammock from them? Get the garden furniture out and fire up the BBQ as well. With all the delicious food you need a good bottle of wine or two. Order fantastic independent wines online and see them appear on your doorstep in just a couple of days. What could be more enjoyable than hanging out with your friends and family in the sunshine? Sounds blissful!
The Camping Trip
If you’ve decided to head away to a campsite for a week or so this summer, you’re bound to enjoy some walks in the countryside or days on the beach. Once the kids are in bed at the end of the day, why don’t Mum and Dad open a beautiful bottle of wine and watch the sun go down? Reminisce about the past, share stories about what you hope the future holds and smile, whilst enjoy a glass of something delicious. There’s something comforting about a glass of wine and a beautiful sunset. Just make sure you have a corkscrew as part of your camping equipment!
The Road Trip
Whatever reason you’re hitting the road this summer, be sure you have everything you need. You might be jumping in the campervan and driving around Scotland. Maybe you’re towing your caravan to your favourite site? Perhaps you’re even heading away to a hotel for a bit of an escape. Some of us are probably going to be visiting loved ones over the summer season. Arriving at a family members house or meeting up with friends, don’t turn up empty handed. How amazing would it be if you arrived with a Gold medal winning Prosecco? Bonus points for you, just ensure you have enough bottles!
Summer is all about spending time together, enjoying the sunshine and making awesome memories. If you can incorporate some fantastic wine into that, even better. Wherever you’re heading this summer season, make sure you have a couple of fantastic bottles with you.
