1. What is the Party Wine Calculation?

The Party Wine Calculation estimates how many bottles of wine you'll need for an event based on the number of guests and expected consumption per person. It assumes 5 glasses per standard 750ml bottle.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Guests \) — Number of attendees
• \( Glasses \) — Estimated consumption per guest
• 5 — Standard glasses per 750ml bottle

Explanation: The calculation ensures you have enough wine without excessive leftovers, rounding up to whole bottles.

Details: Accurate wine estimation prevents both shortages (embarrassing) and over-purchasing (wasteful). Consider adding 10-20% extra for unexpected guests or higher consumption.
