Wine Party 101

hi i'm yvette rios here on ehow.com and i wanted to share with you guys some tips about how you can throw a little wine themed party at home without spending a dime so first of all when you invite your guests tell them to bring one of their favorite wines something that they've tried that they love that they would love to share with other guests and then when they bring their wine open it up and serve it because instead of stashing this away and grabbing something else from your personal wine collection you're going to actually serve the wines that they bring and then one of the things that i like to do is i like to create labels for all of my guests i just use regular old shipping labels you can get this from any office depot or office supply store and you're just going to write the people's name right on it so let's see i'm going to write rosemary on this one and then i actually put this right on the bottle of wine when ro comes put it right on her bottle and that way everybody at the party knows which wine is rose open them all up and let people try the wine it's a great conversation starter it's a great way to go up to someone and say you know what i really loved the bottle that rachel brought that was delicious rachel where did you find that what you know when did you try it last it really gets the conversation started and gets the party going and you want to remember when you do serve wines like this you want to basically have at least one bottle of wine for every two people so you invite eight people open up four bottles that's about two glasses each frankly for me it's about a bottle of person but hey and then when you're serving your glasses and you're setting up everything for your wine bar you don't have to necessarily have all those fancy mirrored trays and things like that you can actually use just a plain mirror this is a mirror i pulled right from my wall and you just set up your glasses on here some cocktail napkins it looks great and it doesn't cost a cent thanks for watching i'm yvette rios and keep checking me out on ehow.com
