How to Choose Your Wedding Wine

By: Georgina Clatworthy

The wine you serve your guests at your wedding will be one of the most talked parts of your day (after the ceremony, your dress & the food!). Unfortunately your guests will remember a bad wine long after they have forgotten a good one (probably because they have drunk so much of it!). Whatever style your day will take on – sit-down, buffet or barbecue, here are some tips to help you make the right choice.

What’s your serving style?

Most couples choose to serve a complimentary glass of champagne or bucks fizz as their guests arrive, followed by another glass for the wedding toasts & red & white wine with the meal. But you don not have to follow the trend. You may fancy serving classic cocktails for a bit of contemporary glamour or would you prefer the champagne to flow all day? How much should you allow per guest?

This is the difficult part; you don’t want to supply your guests with enough drink that they are under the tables by the time the best stands up for his speech. Neither does want to provide so little that guests’ glasses are empty before the main course is served. Typical advice is to allow half a bottle of wine per head during the course of a lunchtime meal & three quarters for an evening meal.
