Uncorked: Holiday Wine Party Guide + Grocery List

Description

Holiday Wine Party Guide: uncorked & unbothered.

Hosting should feel fun, not like a second job. Uncorked takes the guesswork out of a holiday wine party: what to pour, what to serve with it, how much to buy, and when to make it. I did the planning, so you get to be the one holding a glass when friends walk in.

Shop once. Sleigh all night.

The grocery list is the part you’ll love most. It covers everything in the guide for 10 guests, sorted by store section, with wine amounts already worked out (about half a bottle per guest for a 3-hour party). One trip and you’re done.

No wine snob required

Six easy wine styles, from bubbly to Port, each with a paired bite, the right serving temperature and glass, and a “look for” note telling you exactly what to grab off the shelf, with price ranges.

A plan, not just recipes

A make-ahead countdown that starts a week out, a sample evening timeline, a bar setup map and quantity math. The plan’s done. You just show up and sparkle.

Make it look like you tried (you barely did)

Printable food tent cards, cheese markers, wine bar menu cards, bar signs, tasting notes cards, place cards and glass tags, plus a party planner page.

Buy. Shop. Make. Celebrate with friends.

FAQ

Is this a physical product? No, it’s an instant PDF download. Nothing ships.

Do I need to know about wine? Not at all. Each wine page tells you what to look for on the label and about what to spend.

How many people does it serve? The grocery list is built for 10 guests. The board chapter also has quantities for 6 guests, and for 10 as dinner.

Can I print it? Yes. Print the grocery list and printables at home (cardstock works best for the printables), or use everything on your phone or tablet.

Can I make things ahead? Yes, and you should! The countdown spreads the work out from a week before, and the dips can be made a day ahead.

Can I get a refund? Because it’s an instant digital download, all sales are final. If something goes wrong with your file, message me and I’ll make it right.
