-
Consider the Venue, Food, and Season
When choosing wine for your wedding, take into account the venue, type of food, season, climate, size of the event, theme, and your personal preference. For example, if you’re planning a summer wedding in Miami, sparkling wines such as Prosecco, Cava, and Champagne would be the most suitable. On the other hand, if you’re having an indoor wedding with air conditioning, you could opt for rich red wines. Our team can help you select the best wine for your specific needs.
-
Calculate How Much Wine You Need
Calculate the number of bottles of wine you’ll need based on the number of guests, length of the wedding, and other drinks such as cocktails or beer. As a general rule, take the number of guests and divide it by 2 for how many bottles you need to buy. For instance, if you’re expecting 100 guests, you’ll need 50 bottles of wine. If you’re unsure how much wine to buy, our team can help you calculate the right amount.
-
Pair Wine with Your Menu
The wines you choose should complement your food menu. For instance, seafood, chicken, and salads go best with white wines and sparkling wines, while rich and hearty dishes pair best with bolder red wines during cooler seasons. Our team can recommend the best wine pairings for your menu.

Sparkling Wines
When it comes to choosing the perfect bubbly for your wedding, there are a few options to consider.
Champagne
Champagne, the luxurious French sparkling wine, is a popular choice for weddings. The dry Brut style is the most common, with a crisp mouthfeel and complex flavors of brioche and toasty notes. Vintage Champagne can also age well, making it a great option for those looking to splurge. For a sweet option, a demi-sec (semi-sweet) champagne can be served with dessert, while a rose Brut champagne pairs well with main courses.
Prosecco
Prosecco is a budget-friendly and crowd-pleasing option for any wedding. Perfect for the bachelorette party or toasting during the reception, Prosecco is sure to please.
Cava
Cava is a Spanish sparkling wine made using the same method as Champagne. It is an excellent option for weddings, as it is widely available and comes in the dry Brut category. Serve it for the wedding toast, mix it into cocktails, or pour it during the reception for a delicious sparkling wine option.
