How much wine do I need for a wine tasting party?
5 or 6 bottles of wine are enough to host a party and you can always add a couple more. Per guest, a little more than half a bottle of wine is perfect. For example, if you're having an 8-person party, you'll need roughly 5 bottles of wine. Each visitor will receive a half-glass of each bottle in this manner. It won't be too much to get folks wasted, but just enough to have a good time. The first bottle in some of the top professional tastings is frequently an ice breaker aperitif like Champagne or Prosecco. With a glass of bubbles, people appear to suddenly brighten up
