Wine is a must item in a wedding, it can bring luck because of the red outlook. Even though the hotel may provide the table wines for the wedding, the quality still to be considered. People prefer to choose by themselves and hope for the big day to be perfect. If you have too many guests, I believe part of the wine can use from the hotel and part of them choose by ourselves, otherwise, it is easily over budget.

婚宴上紅酒是必不可少，除了大方得體，紅紅的酒液也添上喜慶。有不少朋友曾告訴我雖然酒店有贈送餐酒，不過始終質素有保留。希望可以自己選舉美酒，令大日子盡善盡美。小編認為如果賓客眾多，其實大可部份選擇酒店贈送的餐酒，部份自己選擇，否則很容易超出預算。

I have a wine lover friend, and he spent his mind on wine selection. First, he arranges the seat base on our meeting year. For example, we met in 2013, and the guest from the same table also met him around 2013. So the wine on the table is 2013. The wines for the main seat are the born year of the couple. It is hard to find old wines like that. I am so jealous.

小編有名酒鬼朋友，他對葡萄酒的熱愛簡值是無以復加的地步，他的大日子當然少不了花盡心思的美酒盛宴。首先儘量以相識年份來分席，例如小編是在2013年認識這位酒鬼，同席的賓客都是2013年前後認識的。然後席上的餐酒就是我們相識的年份 – 2013年。所以每席的酒不盡相同，而主家席的兩圍，更是新人的出生日子，沒有門路，相信也不易找到。此舉真令小編佩服得五體投地。

However, if your budget is limited, Pinewood wine provides top-notch wedding consult services. We provide full service such as wine choosing, tasting, and logistics as well. We promise we can find the most suitable wine for your big day.

不過如果你預算有限，也不想大廢周張，其實Pinewood wine設有婚宴諮詢服務，我們會提同一站式服務，由選酒到試酒，直至大日子當日的物流服務均會有專人處理，務求找到當日最合適的葡萄酒。

When talking about the mind seat, although only had a limited budget, I believe you still want them to enjoy the big day too. Here are two suggestions for the famous wines.

說到主家席和最重要的朋友，小編雖然預算有限，但希望讓他們樂在期中。所以以下小編會推薦兩枝，拿出來人人讚好的酒款。

Domaine Roger Sabon - CDP Cuvee Prestige 2010, 750ml

Located at Châteauneuf Du Pape for nearly 500 years, Domaine Roger Sabon is one of the best 10 wineries and on the list of “Robert Parker’s 155 greatest wineries”. This 2010 wine has RP96. The winery insists do not undergo any filter, in order to show their terroir.

"An absolutely profound offering, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige requires 5-6 years of cellaring given its massive concentration and tannic structure. The wine was relatively closed the day I tasted it, but it did display an inky/purple color along with hints of camphor, graphite, creme de cassis, kirsch, licorice, and espresso beans. Full-bodied and moderately tannic with gorgeous freshness, glycerin, and a skyscraper-like texture, this superb cuvee should be at its finest between 2018-2030+."

Score: 96 Robert Parker,
Wine Advocate (203), October 2012

它植根在教皇新堡產區接近500年歷史，是教皇新堡區十大酒莊之一，並且成為Robert Parker欽點155偉大酒莊之一。2010這枝酒在Robert Parker 手中奪得96高分。酒莊堅持不過濾，呈現原始的風土。這枝酒是香料與水果的混合，厚實酒體，飄著隱隱的咖啡豆和黑醋香氣。單寧細滑，回味悠長。放在主家席必定不會失禮。

Chateau d'Armailhac, Pauillac 5eme Cru, 2012 750ml

The famous winery, the guest will know how you pay attention to them.

"Part of the empire of the Chateau Mouton Rothschild, this estate was once known as Mouton Baronne Philippe. This impressive, deep, opaque ruby/purple wine, with loads of charcoal, crème de cassis, and a flowery-ness, is rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, quite pure, and avoids any of the astringency or hollowness that some Médocs possess in this vintage. The wine is complete and finishes authoritatively. The tannins are there, but ripe, integrated, and velvety. This is a very impressive d’Armailhac to drink over the next 20-25 years. Drink: 2015 - 2040."

Score: 92, Robert Parker
Wine Advocate (218), April 2015

一看便知的酒莊，讓坐上客知道你是何等重視他們。黑栗，木炭，餘餘飄出; 結實而融和一起的單寧，豐郁的味覺感受，怪不得Robert Parker也要給出92分。
