Aperol Spritz
Want a taste of Italy’s most popular cocktail? Serve Aperol Spritz in wine glasses as the Italians do or omit the Prosecco and soda, and serve the straight Aperol in a tumbler over ice.

Coq au vin
Coq au vin
There is no better dish to serve up to guests than a traditional French coq au vin. Cooking with wine guarantees you’ll have plenty of fun in the kitchen with this one!
