In case you have had your head in the sand for the last few years you will know that the 30th Olympic Games will be held right here in the UK, to be more precise, London. London 2012 has been on the countdown since they were first awarded the games back in 2005. Since then there has been an almighty scramble to become the "official sponsor of…" for all the major companies and everything from food and drink to travel has been sponsored.

Tickets for the tournament have been hard to come by and with all the stress and hassle of having to brave the journey down being why so many people have opted out of tickets, why not save yourself the stress and just watch all the games at home with your friends and family with some drinks and snacks. Whatever sport you like you will have plenty to choose from, as there are 31 different sports.

Once you have invited your friends round you need to make sure you have some snacks and drinks at the ready. Wine has been a favourite in the UK and provides a healthier alternative to beer. There are a number of wines on the market that are perfect for sharing during the Olympic Games ...
... and with a great number of wine grapes available you can get a mix of wines all offering their own unique taste because of the grape that has been used.

The modern day wines are slightly different to traditional wines because the wine producers mix 2 different grapes to create a new type of wine. Chenin Blanc Chardonnay, Shiraz Grenache and Pinotage are just three new world wines that have been introduced to the market in recent years. These new ways of creating wines has come around because of the growth in the new world wines from New Zealand, South America and South Africa amongst others.

What this means for your Olympic party is that you can get a mixture of flavours of wine. You could even set up a wine tasting party where your guests can try a range of wines. This can be a good alternative when the breaks between competition. You could even get your guest to score each wine and award the various wines their own gold, silver and bronze medal. Remember to drink responsibly though and make the most of this momentous occasion as the Olympic Games come to London and the UK.

Celebrate the games in style with a range of great tasting party wines from the leading UK wine suppliers.
