Wine!

Hi All

I'm trying to figure out how much wine to order for our wedding breakfast (3 courses). We have 51 adult guests over 7 tables and I was planning on ordering a mix of white, red and rose. I'm leaning towards ordering 18 red, 18 white and 12 rose - do you think this is about right or should I be going for more / less? Our venue doesn't charge corkage so at least we don't need to worry about that

Thanks!

Ooh that's a lovely lot of wine!

Whether the ratios are correct really does depend on your guests but I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine.

I'd probably put two bottles of red and white and one bottle of rose on each table (if there's the room) with the rest kept with the staff so they can distribute the rest as needed. Or just one bottle of each if it will be too cluttered.

Great news on not having to pay corkage! That's fab!

See if this helps - for about 100 adult guests we have bought 30 bottles of red and 30 white. So you've got more than us for less guests. Which is fab in my opinion (wine lover!) but you could afford to drop your amount as it currently works out as over 1 bottle per person.
