How Much?
Use our Host Calculator to determine how many bottles of wine you’ll need for your gathering. Knowing how many standard wine-glass servings are in each bottle will help you plan an accurate count.
750ml = five servings
750ml sparkling wine = six servings
1 case (12 750ml bottles) = 60 servings
Red, White or sparkling?
You may already know what your guests like to drink. Be sure to also consider the following
when you decide what types of wine to buy.
- The time of your event: for brunch or lunch, you’ll want to focus on lighter or sparkling wines, like our Pinot Grigio, Prosecco Superiore or Sparkling Rosé.
- The food you are serving: we’ll help you find complementary pairings for savory and sweet dishes, visit our recipe page.
- The theme of the party: are you celebrating? Why not pop a bottle of bubbly? Our Prosecco Superiore and Sparkling Rosé compliment any occasion.
- The weather: is it time for light-bodied, refreshing white wines or warming reds?

Whites and rosés: 55-60°F, refrigerated for a few hours
