Crafty candy with Four Lanterns Winery
Nothing screams “perfect Halloween party hostess gift” quite like a whimsical candy corn wine centerpiece. With nothing but an empty wine bottle, a few cans of spray paint (you’ll need orange, yellow and white), and some scrap paper, you can easily create these cute, candy-inspired centerpieces. When it comes to sipping wine while passing out goodies to the neighborhood trick-or-treaters, nothing beats this beautifully balanced 2017 Grenache courtesy of Four Lanterns Winery. There’s nothing scary about these flavors—just fruity, earthy spicy goodness that trumps any old fun-sized Snickers bar!
