It depends on what quality of wine you are looking for. The price of the case of wine is usually a good indicator of the quality of wine. If you pay anywhere between £150-£170 for a 12 bottle mixed case of wine you can expect the quality of wine to be good. Make sure it includes a couple of bottles of sparkling wine and a good mix of red and white wines.

You should buy at least 1 bottle of wine for every 2 people at a wedding. If you have invited 50 people to your wedding then you will need 25 bottles of wine or 2 cases of wine. This will be enough so that every guest has 2 glasses of wine. There may be some people who don’t drink wine and children within your guest list which means that those who are drinking the wine will end up being able to have more than the 2 glasses of wine.

You should buy 2 cases of wine for every 25 people attending the party. For a case of wine which contains 12 x 75cl bottles of wine there will be enough for 4 glasses of wine for every person. You are likely to have a few left over bottles of wine but it is better to have too much than not enough.

While they offer the classic Bordeaux style aged Merlot, they also produce 100% Merlot’s of both the white and rosé style, certainly not something you see everyday.

Chateau Picoron is a small, independent vineyard located in the small village of Sainte-Colombe, just outside of the presitguous St. Émilion region, in Bordeaux.

A standard case of wine contains 12 bottles. Traditionally wine was packaged in 12 bottle cases however you find more companies are selling wine in cases of 6 bottles. They do this because people are living in smaller houses or apartments and often don’t have the room for space for 12 bottles of wine. Additionally, 12 bottle cases of wine are heavy and with a shift towards online ordering it is not recommended to send a 12 bottle case of wine through a delivery network as there is a higher likely hood of them being damaged or smashed. Savage Vines will always deliver your wine in multiple 6 bottle wine cases.
