Go for variety (and lean red)

On average, more red wine is consumed than white. From our experience, we suggest going with a split of 60% reds and a 40% mix of whites, rosé or sparkling wine.

Variety also means offering recognizable options alongside something unusual or exciting. A classic red and a fresh, crowd-pleasing white (like Sauvignon Blanc) give guests confidence, while a rosé or sparkling wine adds a celebratory touch.

This balanced approach keeps everyone happy—from casual sippers to wine lovers—without requiring an overwhelming number of bottles or styles.

Make it a perfect pairing

Weddings are all about complementary pairings, from the couple to the color scheme. The same holds true for the food and the wine. There are wines that will make your appetizers and main dishes really shine. We like to rely on versatile favorites. Cabernet can handle a wide range of bold red meat dishes, while Pinot Noir is fantastic with lighter red meat preparations and white meat options. A well-balanced Chardonnay also pairs deliciously with white meat, as well as fresh seafood.

There are certain rules you can follow to make sure your wine will improve the meal, and not detract from it. For example, the wine should have more acidity than the dish; the body should match (heavy wines with heavy dishes, lighter wines with lighter dishes); and the flavors of the wine and food should play off each other.

The best way is to taste the wine with the food ahead of time. Consider bringing several wines with you when you taste the food options. Plus, if you ever need assistance, call our Wine Advisors for specific pairing tips.

Calculate how much wine you need

Based on our experience, we suggest you budget for the following: 

1 welcoming glass of sparkling wine per guest
2-3 glasses to enjoy during the meal (white or red)
1 glass of bubbly for the toast
1 glass for after the meal

That’s about 5-6 glasses per person (believe it or not). But each wedding is different. Some might not start with a welcoming glass, some go much longer than others. You can use the equation at right to get a general idea of how many bottles you need.
