Planning a Halloween party or looking for something to sip while waiting for trick or treaters?
Hear are some suggestions.
Hand painted Halloween Glasses from Eye For Gifts.
Paula S.W. Laurita, wine write for Bella Online has some great suggestions.
"Create some new life in your Halloween party with these wines.
What's a Halloween Host to serve ghoulish guests? Punch with dry ice is sooooooo junior high (appropriate roll of the eyes here to denote teen sarcasm). Fortunately, there are some well known and lesser known wines available to you." >More
One that intrigued me is Vampire Wine fromTransylvannia.
It is available around New Jersey, check www.wine-searcher.com.
I have not tried myself yet but the say it has quite a "bite." www.vampirewine.com
Another fun option for Halloween is hot mulled wine. Stacy Slinkard has a great recipe for Banshee Mulled Wine.
"Mulled wines are a traditional favorite, no matter what the occasion, but Halloween presents a terrific opportunity to introduce others to its appeal. The Banshee Mulled Wine recipe is a warm wine punch sure to clutch the palate of all Halloween gouls.'
Wondering how to pair wine with all those candy goodies. Wine Cow gives these good suggestions:
- Almond Joy and Sparkling Wine
- Snickers and Sangiovese
- Three Musketeers and Ice Dessert Wine
- Hershey’s Dark Chocolate and Syrah
- Caramel Apples and Sauvignon Blanc
- Candy Corn and Chardonnay
Sounds perfect to me. Wine Cow Halloween Party Guide.

Love this piece - my fillings are falling out from these candy combos - how about some great smelly cheese?
