Key things to consider when planning wine for your wedding
So, what are the key things you need to know about ordering wines for your wedding?
- Quantity: A good rule of thumb is half a bottle of wine per person for the meal. You're better off "rounding up" rather than down as you don't want to run out.
- Brief the waiting staff: depending on the venue because over eager waiting staff can sometimes overfill glasses - too much and too often.
- Open or return? Wherever you buy wine, ask for an open or return so you're not spending on wine you don't use. You have enough expenses to worry about for the wedding.
- Corkage: If you are supplying your own wine, negotiate (and haggle) a corkage fee with the venue and make sure you get it in writing.
- Food matching: generally, pick the food first or at least have a shortlist of food options to make it easier to pick out the most suitable wines
- Even though it's your wedding, cater for your guests' tastes - don't go for anything too crazy. Remember, you're the stars, not the wine.
