Frequently asked questions
How many glasses are in a bottle of wine?
A standard 750 ml bottle holds five 150 ml pours, which is the usual 5 oz serving. Larger or smaller pours change this, so a heavy 200 ml pour gives only three full glasses per bottle.
How many bottles of wine do I need for a party?
Multiply guests by glasses per guest to get total glasses, then divide by glasses per bottle and round up. For 30 guests at 3 glasses that is 90 glasses, or 18 bottles at a standard pour.
How many glasses of wine does the average guest drink?
A common planning figure is two to three glasses per guest over a two to three hour event, with the first hour heaviest. Adjust up for a long celebration or down for a lunch.
Why does the tool round bottles up?
You cannot buy a fraction of a bottle, so it rounds up to make sure there is enough. It also counts only whole pours per bottle, so leftover wine that is less than a full glass is not assumed to serve anyone.
Does this work for champagne or magnums?
Yes. Set the bottle size to 1500 ml for a magnum, and use a smaller pour such as 120 ml for sparkling wine, which is typically served in shorter measures than still wine.
