What Wines Are Bezos and Sanchez Pouring at Their Wedding?

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are tying the knot in Venice (much to the chagrin of Venetians who are exasperated by the preparations), and while the details of their lavish, multi-million dollar wedding are mostly under wraps, one question on my mind besides the weather forecast for the big day is: What kind of wine are they serving?!

We are not privy to the wine list but we've pieced together some strong hints about the fermented grapes flowing for the most-anticipated wedding of the year.

A Nod to Italy with Amarone

We know the Mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, gave Jeff Bezos a massive bottle of Amarone. This isn't just any red wine; Amarone is a rich, prestigious Italian red, known for its bold flavors and often significant price tag. This generous gift certainly suggests that high-quality Italian wines, especially reds, are likely to be a star on their wedding menu.

A Taste of German Sweetness

Interestingly, for their engagement celebration, the couple reportedly toasted with a bottle of Weins-Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel #16 from the Dr. F winery. This is a specific, high-end German Riesling, known for its sweet, late-harvest style. This choice hints at a diverse palate, appreciating not just powerful reds but also elegant, sweet whites.

Expect Nothing Less Than Pure Luxury 

Let's be real: with a rumored $50 million wedding budget, an A-list guest list including Leonardo Dicaprio and Beyonce, and a multi-day celebration in one of the world's most romantic cities, you can safely bet they're pouring nothing but the best. We're talking very high-end, luxurious wines, likely a mix of elite Italian selections and other globally renowned varietals.  

While we might never know the exact vintage of every bottle, it's clear Bezos and Sanchez are sparing no expense when it comes to their wedding wine list. Expect a sophisticated and incredibly expensive array of choices that perfectly complement their Amazon shopping history.
