How much wine is needed for a tasting party?
I’ve found that featuring five to seven wines per party is just the right amount for small groups. Figure that one bottle of wine comfortably serves five or six people with nice-sized pours. So, if you decide to feature five wines and are hosting 12 people, you’ll want at least two bottles of each wine.
