How many glasses of wine are in a standard bottle?

A standard 750ml bottle of wine typically holds five 5-ounce glasses. This can vary slightly depending on the size of the pour.

What are the most popular wine varieties to serve at events?

Common choices for events include red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, and white wines such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio. It’s good to offer a mix to suit different preferences.

How should I store wine before the event?

Wine should be stored in a cool, dark place, ideally at around 55°F (13°C). Make sure the bottles are lying on their sides if they have corks to keep them moist and prevent air from seeping in.

How many bottles of wine should I buy for a toast?

For a toast, one bottle of sparkling wine typically provides about seven smaller pours. This is a great guideline if you're planning to offer a glass of bubbly for each guest during a celebratory toast.
