Party Planning

Common questions we receive at Uncorked are "how much wine will I need for my party" and "what type of wines should I have on hand". Here we provide the answers to these questions as well as tips for serving.

Party Planning

Entertaining With Wine

The best wines are the ones we drink with friends.

Wine Party Math

What does it take to entertain 20 thirsty guests? One 12 bottle case of wine will pour about 60 glasses. This will serve 20 friends for about 3 hours.

Don't forget sparkling

Sparkling wines are a great way to round out your wine service at parties. It is an ideal aperitif before a meal and pair well with many types of food. If serving only for a toast, pour about a third of a glass per person. Plan on one bottle of Champagne for every 8 guests.

Opt for a rosé

A rosé is an ideal choice to serve with many tough to pair foods all year round. It will pair with a wide variety of cuisines from backyard BBQ to seafood. Rosé even pairs brilliantly with spicy fare such as Indian food. Don't reserve this option only for summer!
