It might only be the second month of the year, but the working days seem endless. An ongoing global pandemic, the daily news and work might all bring you down, but there’s one surefire way to get back in good spirits. Throw yourself a wine party; the modern way. While large gatherings might not be the best idea, why not have a video call with the ones you love spending time with over some wine. It’s the perfect way to catch up with friends and family, all while enjoying a delicious meal and a glass of non-alcoholic wine. Below are a few ideas to make the virtual wine party, a fun-filled experience.

PICK THE SAME WINE

When having a party online, the best way to connect is by having the same food and drink. This creates a feeling of togetherness even over a digital platform. Whether a sparkling non-alcoholic Chardonnay or a deep red like non-alcoholic Merlot, they make a perfect sense. Further, if you are celebrating something, why not do it together!

HAVE A VIRTUAL COOKOUT

While eating together might be mainstream, why not try something different and cook the food together as well? Pick a simple, easy to follow menu, and decide on a time. It’s sure to be a fun activity watching each other have mishaps in the kitchen and a laugh while whipping up a yummy meal. Oh, and a glass of non-alcoholic wine to go with cooking never hurt anyone.

DRESS UP

It might seem odd to get dressed up just to stay at home; however, it’s sure to be fun. Plan a dress code, or keep it casual. Either way, go for the same look and it’s sure to tie the whole wine and dine experience together and make it more than just a virtual meeting. It might also be a good time to put on that cocktail dress you’ve been saving for an occasion.

HAVE FUN

Eating in can be just as fun as going out. Whether it’s the company, the laughs, the endless flow of non-alcoholic wine, catching up with friends and family is always sure to lift anyone’s mood. A video conference with near and dear ones is sure to brighten up the mundane days and bring some excitement into regular lives. Try it out! It might just be the best fun you’ve ever had at home in a long time.
