Italian wine for wedding favors? My fiance and I are going to Italy on our honeymoon so we thought it should be an Italian wedding theme. We will be giving away bottles of wine that our favors, but I'm lost as to what type of wines for distribution. I want them to be "Italian-esque. Any ideas?
I would say the best examples of Italian wines Prosecco (champagne style wine of the Veneto - the area north of Venice), Pinot Grigio (probably the most famous Italian white) and Chianti Classico (probably the most famous red Italian). I do not know what you mean by the Italian-esque, unless you mean that American wines are made from Italian grape varieties, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Black are both cultivated by most major manufacturers California wine, so maybe they would be well.
