How much wine should I allow for each person at a tasting event?

I’m planning a wine tasting event as a fundraiser. We’ll be serving 4 or 5 different wines. How much wine should be purchased?

Since it’s a fundraiser, we don’t want to lose money by ending up with unopened wine.

Please give quantities such as 1 bottle of each wine for every 5 people, 10 people, etc.

If drinking wine you plan 1 bottle for 4 and 1/2 servings – however a tasting is far less about 1 oz per taster (about 30ml) which is approximately 25 tastings per bottle (750ml). I do recommend purchasing a few extra bottles to sell (just double your purchase price) or making a deal with a local wine seller to give you a commission for referring people to them for additional bottles. Have a card handy with the sellers name, address and a list of the wines they are tasting as well as a 1-5 score for the taster to keep so they remember the wines they preferred. Don’t forget to have a selection of cheeses and crackers as well as some grapes and lots of water for cleansing the pallet (i recommend having a large vessel with cucumber slices in it for a full cleanse of the wine sugars) – then pour it into smaller pitchers as you go. Hope this helps!

Amy Winehouse’s second album, Back to Black, is one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out for years. Frank, her first album, was a sparse and stripped-down affair; Back to Black, meanwhile, is neither of these things. This time around, she’s taken her inspiration from some of the classic 1960′s girl groups like the Supremes and the Shangri-Las, a sound particularly suited to…
