You know your guests, and you what and how much they like to drink. Do they love their Scotch on the rocks, or are they wine and beer people?\u00a0For most weddings, the crowd is multi-generational, which generally results in a range of alcohol preferences. One of the best ways to determine how much to purchase is the time of day the reception is being held. Much less alcohol will be consumed at a morning reception as opposed a late afternoon or evening event.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, you will have a few attendants who will not drink alcohol, so\u00a0it&#8217;s safe to estimate that guests will consume <b>one drink per person per hour, or about five drinks over the course of the night.<\/b>\u00a0Since your guests will probably be driving home after the event, it&#8217;s best that the drinking not exceed the one-per-hour rate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Many Drinks Are in Each Bottle?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While this depends on the size of the glasses, there are definitely a few standards:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A bottle of Champagne equals\u00a0six glasses (eight if flutes are narrow)<\/li>\n<li>A bottle of wine\u00a0equals 5 glasses<\/li>\n<li>A 1 liter bottle of liquor equals about 18 drinks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How Many Bottles Are in a Case?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A case of wine equals 12 bottles.<\/li>\n<li>A case of beer equals 24 bottles or cans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>So What Makes Up a Full Bar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Going for a full bar?

If you want to serve specific wines or Champagne, talk to the establishment about specialty orders, and expect an fee.\u00a0You can\u00a0also bring\u00a0your own cases of wine, however\u00a0they will generally charge you a corkage fee per bottle. Keep in mind the corkage fee can add significantly to your bill.\u00a0Tell management that about half way through the reception, the groom or a groomsman\u00a0will want\u00a0to check on the amount that has been served. This will help you gauge consumption and let management know that someone&#8217;s keeping track of everything.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/scmedia.weddingchannel.com\/~\/media\/7B13F4190A804BF9821ED16CED334C94.ashx\" width=\"1\" height=\"10\" border=\"0\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/scmedia.weddingchannel.com\/~\/media\/7B13F4190A804BF9821ED16CED334C94.ashx\" width=\"1\" height=\"10\" border=\"0\" \/><\/noscript><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Independent Locations<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>If the reception is taking place at an independent location such as a home or hall without restaurant and bar facilities, your alcohol costs will probably be\u00a0a lot lower. You&#8217;ll get to hunt for a bargain or work something out with the owner of your favorite liquor or wine store. A substantial discount for buying in bulk is also likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>What Brands Are Best?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When\u00a0stocking the bar, think about the brands most likely to satisfy the largest number of guests. Again, you know your guests. If your family is flying in from the highlands of Scotland, you may want to go for a single malt over a Kentucky bourbon, but generally, standard bar fare will work. On the wine front, you can definitely make choices based on your personal preferences.<\/p>\n<p><b>Keep the Budget in Mind When Choosing Wine<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Choosing wine is often a fun part of\u00a0the wedding planning process. Find several bottles in your price range, have a few friends over and host a wine tasting. Once you&#8217;ve made your choices, talk to your local\u00a0wine store owner about a deal for buying in bulk. If they don&#8217;t have the wine you like, they can order it for you usually within a\u00a0few of weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The year 1995 was a wonderful year worldwide for wines, both white and red. In terms of moderate price ranges, you are likely to find a tasty wine if it was produced in that banner year.\u00a0 Ask your wine seller for a few recommendations if needed. In the meantime, here are a few varieties available at very reasonable prices:<\/p>\n<p><b>Red Wines<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Buena Vista, 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon &#8211; California.
