Wine Calculator: How Much Wine for a Party?

How much wine do I need?

Tell us about your party and we'll do the math, so you don't end up with too little, or a wine collection in your hallway.

The basics

Adults who'll be drinking wine Not the whole guest list, just the wine drinkers.

How long is the party (hours)? Pouring time, from first glass to last call.

What else is on the menu?

Tick anything else you'll serve. Guests who have options tend to drink less wine.

Beer Cocktails Other drinks (spirits, seltzers, etc.)

Pour size How generous is your pour?

Which styles? (optional) I want to set my own red / white / rosé / sparkling split

Left alone, we'll use a crowd-pleasing mix: 35% red, 40% white, 10% rosé, 15% sparkling.

A toast? (optional) Add a sparkling toast

Peek at (and tweak) the planning assumptions

These are rules of thumb, not science. Change them to match your crowd. "Pours" means glasses at the pour size you picked.

Pours per hour, hours 2 and 3

Pours per hour, after hour 3
