A RULE OF
THUMB
There is no definitive
rule when it comes to how much wine,
beer or spirits you need for a particular
event; however, as a general rule,
consider one drink per person per
hour.
People tend to drink more at the
beginning of an event, but consume
less as the event goes on.
SOME WINE
GUIDELINES FOR EVENTS
Consider
two things when planning an event
– trends and the type of event.
Certain drinks gain more popularity
over time and during different seasons,
such as gin, beer and coolers in the
summer, rum, brandy and liqueurs in
the winter.
What’s even more important is
the type of event you’re hosting:

| Lunch |
Two glasses per person = 1/3 a
bottle. |
| Dinner |
Three glasses per person = 1/2
a bottle. |
| Wine
& Cheese Party |
Three glasses per person = 1/2
a bottle – more if the party
lasts longer than three hours. |
DID YOU
KNOW?
A drink is a drink
is a drink. A mixed drink with 1.5
oz. of spirits contains the same amount
of alcohol as 12 oz. of beer or 5
oz. of wine.
KEEP YOUR
SPIRITS UP
Think three drinks per person for
an evening where spirits are served.
A 750 mL bottle yields 15 to 17 drinks.
Remember, you need at least three
similarly sized bottles of mix per
bottle of spirit.
