How much wine

[Mo*14/7/06*]

Does anyone have any idea how much wine you allow per person, just a general idea, I wont be telling people to only have one glass, I dont want to order wine and have too much or god forbid not enough

Im not sure Mo, I do recall going to weddings and being given a bottle of red and a bottle of white per table, to which everyone just enjoyed their preference, and thats between 6 - 8 per table, but thinking about it - that does sound stingey. I don't like wine and never drink any that is on the tables so I don't know if that is adequate.

Might be worth working on two glasses for each person

Our venue recommended an average of 2 glasses per person too,
i also dont drink the stuff but theres always someone happy to help you out
Some venues do a drinks package with example a welcome drink ie juice for after the ceremony, 2x wine for meal, glass of bubbles for the toast and then tea/coffe after dinner... you could ask about that then maybe see if theres a chance of standby extras if needed? Also some venues are happy to over order for you and then refund on unopened bottles, have a chat with them see whats on offer if anything

I would allow 1/2 a bottle per person which is (depending on the size of the wine glasses the venue use) about 2 - 3 glasses per person. This will average out as you will have some that drink and others that do not.
A great way to keep a tighter controll over this is to ask the venue if their waiters can pour the wine. this way the guests do not get stuck in to it and the waiters can tell which tablee are drinking more than others as you do not want guests walking up to tables and asking if they can have thier bottles!!! believe me this does happen.........
I hope all goes well.
