This year we have definitely dedicated ourselves to many culinary preparations. Between pizza and desserts, there are also those who have carried on the noble art ofappetizer.
Someone will have learned how to make a spritz to perfection, while others will have thought of delicious savory snacks. Between relaxation and drinks, there are also those who wanted to make the moment of the aperitif magical and chic, giving an extra touch to the table.
Once you have decided which dishes and drinks to enjoy, all you have to do is decide how to set the table to create an aperitif worthy of the most fashionable place.
The choice of glasses
Each drink corresponds to a glass different. Whether white or red, the wine should be served in goblets. If they are oval-shaped and with a long stem, you can also use them for sparkling wines and prosecco.
Otherwise, if you are a beer lover, after having uncorked your favorite you will have to choose the most suitable glass here too. The classic pint it will be just fine. If you don’t have any at home, you can always use simple tall glasses.
If you are a mojito and caipirinha lover you will have to choose glasses medium tumblers or Collins. This type, thanks to its discreet capacity, allows you to serve all your favorite long drinks.

The right cutlery
We are not setting the table for lunch or dinner. Reason why the aperitif equipment must be beautiful, but above all functional.
Saucers, napkins and forks will suffice if you are serving dishes that cannot be eaten with your hands.
To avoid using plastic cutlery, now in any supermarket you will find variants in recycled materials. If an eye to the environment is important, but you want to buy cutlery that lasts over time, you can choose one of the many sets offered by Maison du Monde.

Cutting boards and bowls for appetizers
THE cutting boards they can be a valid alternative to dishes to arrange your appetizers, but also cold cuts and cheeses.
To present your aperitif you can choose the most classic wooden models or more colorful design items. Also, you can combine them with bowls colored. Among the many proposals, we have selected Maisons du Monde for tray with multicolored bowls. The bowls can be used in the microwave and washed in the dishwasher.

Runner
For a perfect mise en place for your aperitifs you could choose some runner. On the market you can find several, both single-color and patterned. To be perfect, the table runner must be slightly longer than the table and must protrude by about 40 – 50 centimeters.
We offer you the teal green model with gold details of Santex available on Amazon. Perfect to combine with golden glasses and cutlery.

Details for the table
At this point, to finish preparing the table for the aperitif, you could choose to enrich everything with some details, such as napkin holder of design, coasters, centerpiece and, since we are at Christmas, Christmas decorations.
This set of napkin holders wreath-shaped available on Amazon and perfect if you plan to use cloth napkins. Made of resistant metal, they are embellished with rhinestones and can also be reused for Christmas lunches and dinners.
