Wine is a key component of any celebration. You can have sweet wines, sparkling wines, red wines for meals, and anything and everything in between!
The first question people tend to ask is, how much wine should I get! To begin, a serving of wine is 5 oz. Whether you're mixing up a sangria or buying bottles of wine, take the total volume of liquid on hand and divide out by 5oz. That gets you the number of servings you have available.
You figure a person can probably drink one of these servings every half hour, so to figure out what volume you need, multiply the number of people times the length of your party in half hours and you've got a rough idea.
I find it's good to assume you have 20% White Zinfandel drinkers, 30% white wine (Chardonnay), 30% red wine (Cabernet), and 20% of other things. How about a Champagne toast? Again, 5 oz is a pretty good toasting glass. So maybe 5-6 glasses per bottle of Champagne, and figure from there.
Stems Up!!
