Serving Guidelines

The amount of wine needed will depend on the size of your wedding. Check out our serving guidelines to calculate how much wine you’ll need for your celebration.

Please note: Each batch of wine makes 30 bottles.

Follow these steps to estimate your needs

1 batch = 30 bottles

1. Calculate how many people will be drinking at the event.
2. Multiply this number by four (to give you the maximum number of standard drinks per person you will need).
3. Divide number of standard drinks by five per bottle
4. Divide number of bottles by 30 to determine the number of batches and then round up

For example:
1. 100 wine drinking guests attending
2. 100 x 4 standard drinks = 400 standard drinks
3. 400 / 5 (5 glasses per 750ml bottle) = 80 bottles of wine
4. 80/30 750ml bottles per batch = 2.67 or 3 batches of wine will be needed.
Therefore, you could make one batch of red wine, one batch of white wine, and one batch of rosé wine.

When to Make Your Wedding Wine

Your wine will be quite enjoyable on the day it’s bottled; however, we recommend you leave whites about one to two months and reds two to three months before serving them at your wedding. Tell us the date of your wedding and we’ll make sure you have a winemaking appointment far enough in advance to make the best-tasting wine.
