Essential Home Bar Accessories

Home bars are made with the intention of avoiding the noisy environment of professional bars. However, if you don’t have the basic bar accessories, then the whole drinking experience can turn into a messy affair. So what are the minimum wine accessories that you must have in your bar?

Basic accessories for wine: There are certain basic bar accessories that can be referred to as a bar starter set. These include corkscrews, measures and dispensers, pourer, large mugs, bottle coolers, ice buckets, straws, and bar towels. Whether you serve beer, whiskey, or wine, you will need them.

Basic cocktail accessories: Since you have a bar, you should be able to serve cold cocktails to your guests. For sweet tasting drinks, you must have bar accessories that allow you to mix cocktails. Shaker can, shaker glass, crusher, cocktail strainer, twisted mixing spoon, jigger measure, bottle pourer, bar knife, and paper cocktail umbrella are some of the accessories you should buy for this purpose.

Wine decanter: A decanter removes sediment from aged wines and softens the harsh-tasting tannins found in some red wines. Liquid natural colors also stand out. Decanters are essential to enhance the flavor of wine, especially old ones. Decanting the wine properly is also essential to get the best effect.

Wine cooler: The temperature at which the wine is served can mark or spoil its flavor. The wine cooler can be configured to keep different types of wines stored at the proper serving temperature. Wine coolers are required primarily for white or sparkling wines. Sparkling wines and champagne must be completely chilled before serving.
