Wine for Party Calculator

Estimate wine bottles, beer cans, and spirit servings to buy for a party based on guest count, duration, and light, moderate, or heavy drinking habits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many glasses are in a bottle of wine?

A standard 750 ml bottle pours about five 5-ounce glasses, or roughly four with generous pours. The calculator uses five glasses per bottle.

How many drinks will my guests have?

The calculator assumes people drink faster in the first hour, then settle into a steadier rate that depends on whether your crowd is light, average, or heavy drinkers.

Should I buy extra?

Yes, rounding up and adding a small buffer avoids running out. Many stores accept returns of unopened bottles, so buying a little extra is low risk.

Can I include beer and spirits?

Yes. You can set a wine share of total drinks and the calculator splits the remainder into beer servings and 750 ml spirit bottles.
