When planning your wedding, deciding on the number of wine bottles to order can seem daunting. Fortunately, Domaine Viranel, nestled in the exquisite AOP Saint-Chinian terroir in the Languedoc, is here to guide you. By considering the number of guests, the type of reception, and your personal preferences, you can determine the ideal quantity of wine to order for your special day.
Basic Estimate Per Guest
A general rule is to allow for half a bottle of wine per person, which equates to two to three glasses per guest. This estimate works well for an average-length wedding meal (four to five hours). If your reception is set to last longer, consider increasing this amount.
Distribution Between Red, White, and Rosé Wine
The distribution between red wine, white wine, and rosé will depend on several factors, including the menu and the season. A good approach is to offer a varied assortment to cater to all tastes. In summer, you might lean towards rosé and white wine, while in winter, red wine might be more popular. Consult our cuvées on our dedicated page to discover the variety of our wines and choose those that will best accompany your wedding menu.
Special Considerations for Champagne and Sparkling Wines
For the toast, plan on one bottle of champagne or sparkling wine for every six to eight guests.
The Importance of Tasting
We strongly recommend tasting the wines before making your final selection. This ensures that the wines you choose meet your expectations and those of your guests. Contact us to arrange a tasting and explore our full range at https://www.viranel.fr/nos-vins.
Order a Little Extra
It’s always better to order a bit more wine than needed to avoid running short. Unopened bottles can often be returned or kept for another occasion.
