Add panache on the beverage side by pairing your small plates with
premium wine. An exciting new trend that presents major bang for not a lot
of bank: new premium cask wines. More earth-friendly and wallet-friendly
than bottled wines, the quality of wine casks, also called bag-in box (BIBs)
has sky-rocketed over the last few years.
Premium cask wines are a convenient, no-waste way to pair each small
plate with a flavorful wine. Each three liter cask contains 20 glasses of
wine. And post-party, you can enjoy any remaining cask wine for at least
six weeks more because it's protected from harmful oxygen that destroys
wine left in a bottle. No need to think about waste - you can host another
party without the need for additional wine, or you and your significant other
can each enjoy a glass of fresh wine a day.
