British dinner party make's a comeback With the current economic climate forcing many people to cut costs, research reveals that over half of us (54%) are swapping restaurant dining for dinner parties at home. One in five have given up restaurant dining altogether since the credit crunch began 12 months ago - and with many people spending as little as £5 per head on home entertaining, compared to an average of £19 on eating out, it's no surprise food-lovers are turning to more cost-effective options.
Cooking up a British storm Interestingly, while we enjoy foreign food when eating out, almost 70% shun exotic recipes and stick to good old British recipe's when cooking for a dinner party. Just 2% have cooked French dishes for guests and fewer than one in ten (8%) choose to recreate a takeaway favourite, such as curry and chinese meals. However, it’s quenching guest's thirst that causes the biggest headache; a survey found that over a third (36%) struggle with what wine to serve with what food, in fact a large percentage find choosing the wine the most difficult part of a dinner party – not least because of the cost. Two-thirds of dinner party hosts opt for bottles of wine costing less than £7, however a little knowledge can get a lot of bottle! A well chosen bottle of wine can really complement the flavours of a meal and you don't need to splash out to get something that tastes great. The Cabernet/Sauvignon Shiraz goes really well with traditional roast lamb. The Darkside 2005 has the right balance of tannins to cut through the fat of the lamb and costs less than £8 per bottle when ordering a case of 6. If you want a white then serve your guests a good blend of Sauvignon Chenin Blanc like the Daisy Darling 2007 which also goes well with a light salad starter, while The Inkspot is ideally suitable for pairing with spicy modern food or even as an aperitif. Party politics Good food, fine wine and great company are the vital ingredients for an enjoyable dinner party - far more important than the considering a party game or an elaborate theme. South African wine is enjoying a fantastic increase through out Europe and with the 2010 World cup being hosted there, this is a great time to learn more about the fabulous flavours of the Cape and what better opportunity than with wine from WinesUlike. Look out for more great offers and our NEW 12 case mixed collection, where you can sample six different wines for under £60 and with our special Christmas delivery rates, there is no better time to buy.
