Tips for Serving White Wine at Brunch
Here are 5 tips to serve white wine at brunches, perfect for elevating your weekend gatherings:
- Chill It Right
Serve white wine at 7–10°C to keep it crisp and refreshing—ideal for sunny, laid-back brunches. - Use Proper Glassware
Opt for a white wine glass with a smaller bowl, as white wines don’t require much swirling to open up, and a long stem to protect them from the heat of your hands. - Pair with Brunch Favourites
White wines shine with eggs, soft cheeses, salads, and lightly spiced Indian dishes—think masala omelette or grilled paneer. - Choose a Crowd-Pleaser
Go for approachable styles like Chenin Blanc or Sauvignon Blanc, which are fruity, vibrant, and easy on the palate. - Keep a Cooler Nearby
If dining outdoors, keep an ice bucket or wine chiller handy to maintain the perfect serving temperature throughout the meal.
