Balance is everything and we will unpack in this blog how to strike the perfect balance between just enough and overindulgence.
Know Your Guest Count
The first step in determining your wine order is to know your guest count. You need an accurate estimate of the number of people who will be attending your event. This count will serve as the foundation for your wine quantity calculations.
Understand the Type of Event
Consider the nature of your event. Is it a formal dinner, a casual get-together, a wedding, or a corporate gathering? Different types of events may have varying drinking habits and preferences. For instance, a formal dinner may involve more wine consumption than a casual networking event.
Determine the Duration of the Event
Think about how long your event will last. Longer events may require more wine per guest. A rule of thumb is to estimate one glass of wine per hour for each guest. Keep in mind that the time of day can also influence wine consumption, with evening events typically seeing more wine consumption than daytime events.
Account for Dietary Preferences
Consider your guests' dietary preferences. Some guests may prefer red wine, while others may opt for white or even non-alcoholic options. To accommodate everyone, offer a variety of wines to cater to different tastes.
Use the Standard Calculation
A common guideline for estimating wine consumption at an event is to plan for one bottle of wine for every two guests. This calculation assumes that each bottle contains approximately four to five glasses of wine. Adjust this estimate based on your knowledge of your guests' drinking habits.
Plan for Special Toasts or Celebrations
If your event includes special toasts or celebrations, you might want to order extra wine for these moments. Guests may be more likely to raise a glass during these times.

Final Notes
Determining how much wine to order for your event per guest requires thoughtful planning and consideration of various factors. By knowing your guest count, understanding the event type, estimating event duration, accommodating dietary preferences, and using standard calculations, you can confidently order the right amount of wine to create an enjoyable and memorable experience for your guests.

But what made the Cabrera gift stand out was how it diverged from the norm of players often being gifted Rolex watches from teams and teammates. But Cabrera plays for the Tigers so it is likely that his team will be gifting the legend something more befitting of his stature in baseball history. As for the bottle of Caymus he likely left in the opposing team's dugout after the game, here's hoping it finds its way back to the individual in the Athletics' front office who hatched this brilliance.
