How much wine should you order for a party?

Answer 1

To determine the number of bottles to buy, a good rule of thumb is to allot anywhere from a half to three-quarters of a bottle per person, assuming that most guests will drink two glasses with dinner. Most bottles serve about 5 glasses of wine. There is some debate of whether more white or red wine gets consumed at wedding. Take into consideration your menu and time of year of your wedding when deciding the ratio of white to red. If the wines will also be served with cocktails, double that amount. Guests will likely enjoy a glass or two before sitting down to dine.

Answer 2

As the host you want your guests to have a good time but, as a responsible host you don't want to have them drunk. Providing one glass as an aperitif and two glasses during dinner is the norm. If you would like to have an after dinner or dessert wine then one glass per person is perfect. The wine for the aperitif (usually a Champagne or sparkling wine) generally comes in a 750ml bottle and each bottle is enough for 4 glasses. The dinner wine is also in a 750 ml bottle which offers 4 glasses per person. Dessert wines will come in a 350 ml bottle and since dessert wine glasses are considerably smaller than regular stemware you should be able to get 5-6 glasses per bottle.

Answer 4

The choice of wines for the wedding is usually made by the bride's family.

At many weddings there are equal amounts of red and white wine, but the preferences of the marriage couple and the family come first.

Answer 5

It depends on what other refreshments will be served. If you are having a party with just wine and soft drinks you should buy one (1) x 750 ML bottle of wine for every two (2) guests. If you are offering other cocktail options then prepare to buy one (1) x 750 ML bottle of wine for every three (3) guests.

If you are hosting a large party which will require many cases of wine you should have a prior agreed price with your wine store to buy-back any left over full wine

bottles.
