Cocktail Events & Parties
Plan on ½ bottle of wine/person per two-hour period. However, if your event begins before 5 pm , or if you also plan on serving liquor or beer, plan on ½ bottle/person per three-hour period.

Self-Service for Guests
If guests will be serving themselves, plan for 10% more wine.

Dinner Events & Parties
Each 750ml bottle of wine provides 5 servings at 5oz each or 6 servings at 4oz each. If you are pairing wine with a meal, plan 1-1.5 serving(s) per course/person.

To Calculate the Number of Bottles You Require of Each Wine:
# people you are serving X
# glasses (on average) each will drink
÷ 5 (or 6 if you prefer a 4oz pour)

Glassware
Cocktail events/parties
1.5 glasses per person for 3 hours or less, 2 glasses per person for longer.

Dinner events/parties
One glass per wine varietal. If you only have one or two wine glass size(s) arrange each place setting with separate red and white wine glasses, plus water.

Tip: For larger gatherings, let someone else do the setup and cleanup. Rent glassware from a local party rentals shop.
