| Q | What is your advice on planning an outdoor wedding? |
| A | William Coren says: Planning drinks for your outdoor wedding reception is crucial for creating an unforgettable experience. Think about these key considerations... •Guest preferences and dietary restrictions. Offer a diverse range of options, including sparkling wine, non-alcoholic alternatives, and cocktails to accommodate everyone. •Weather conditions. Adapt your drink selection based on the weather. Serve refreshing drinks like spritzers and fruity cocktails on hot summer days, and warm beverages like mulled wine for cooler weather. •Time and duration of the reception. Provide a variety of drinks to keep guests hydrated and refreshed throughout the event. Include non-alcoholic options alongside sparkling wine for responsible consumption. •Signature cocktails and personalisation. Collaborate with your mixologist or wine stockist to create signature cocktails that reflect your style as a couple, offering an exclusive and memorable experience. •Beverage service and presentation. Ensure you have suitable glassware, ice, garnishes and professional staff to manage the bar effectively. Use outdoor-friendly drinkware for safety and consider visually appealing drink stations. •Toasting and celebratory moments. Ensure an ample supply of sparkling wine for toasting moments and provide elegant glassware for a photogenic touch. House Coren is honoured to offer packages for outdoor receptions and would love to be part of your special day, providing exceptional sparkling wine made in England. Cheers to a wonderful wedding reception! |

| Q | What are you top 2023 trend predictions? |
| A | William Coren says: "I think we'll see a huge rise in the demand for English sparkling wines for weddings in 2023 as awareness of it continues to increase. A key growth area is in winning over the celebration category, which has historically been dominated by Champagne, but we're now seeing a shift toward quality English sparkling wines here in the UK. The quality is as good as, if not better than, its French cousin and after various lockdown restrictions along with the cost of living squeeze we've seen a desire from customers to shop British. "The emergence of the Charmat wine category amongst English wines will be an area to watch. The different method of production that highlights the fruit characteristics of the wine, has proven to be a winning formula, alongside its more accessible pricing should mean a winning combination for couples who want top quality wine with crowd-pleasing qualities that won't break the bank. Boco by House Coren is one of the best examples of this style. "Finally, as more and more vineyards in the UK open their doors as wedding venues, it only makes sense for couples to toast their nuptials with the venue's wine as well." |
