A cosy evening with friends is all about the right atmosphere, good company - and of course a delicious glass of wine. But how do you choose the right wine and serve it stylishly? In this blog, we give you practical tips and explain how to make the wine experience complete. Besides a nice wine and good company, one of our wine coolers should not be missing, of course!

Wine to please everyone

Wine is personal, but some varieties appeal to almost everyone:

Light & fresh: Try a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Fruity & supple: Go for a rosé or a Merlot

Slightly more powerful: Think of a Shiraz or a Tempranillo.

Are you organising a get-together? Then it's smart to serve both a white and red wine. That way there is something for everyone.

Wine pairing with appetisers

Whether you serve tapas, a cheese board or a sumptuous dinner: wine and food reinforce each other.

Cheese board: Go for Chardonnay or a smooth Pinot Noir.

Seafood or light salads: Choose a fresh Sauvignon Blanc.

BBQ and meat: Think of a robust Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine at the right temperature

Nothing more unfortunate than a white wine that is too hot or a red that is too cold:

White wine: 8-12°C
Red wine: 16-18°C

Use a wine cooler to keep your white wine at the perfect temperature. The Nikki.Amsterdam wine cooler is ideal for this: stylish, functional and a real mood enhancer. You fill this wine cooler with ice in the top compartment and add the bottle to it. Your wine chilled, great company. What more could you want? Maybe some nice lighting and an appropriate music? That's possible too!

Create atmosphere with light & sound

Atmosphere is everything. Besides fine company and chilled wine, our wine coolers also provide:

Soft, adjustable light for a warm ambience

Your favourite playlist via the built-in Bluetooth speaker

Dimmable LED lighting for the right tone at any time of night

Whether you want to chill 1 bottle or several bottles at once, our wine coolers are there for every occasion. A romantic get-together for two, a garden party, dinner or drinks evening with friends. Indoors or outdoors, this is the ultimate life-style item for wine lovers!
