How Much to buy?
 Consider this general guide to the number of servings you'll get for wine, beer and spirits:
Wine
One bottle (750ml) is approximately six four-ounce servings. That will serve two to three people, depending on how many servings you average per guest.
Beer
Generally, one case of 12 beers (341ml size) will serve approximately four to six people, averaging two or three beers per guest.
Spirits
One bottle (750ml) makes about 20 to 24 drinks.
Follow three steps when estimating your buying needs:
| · | Calculate how many people will be drinking at the event; |
| · | Multiply this number by four—this tells you the maximum number of standard drinks you'll need; |
| · | Translate this number of standard drinks into bottles of spirits and wine, and cases of beer. |
The table below is based on four drinks per person during a three hour event. Beer is calculated based on cases of 12 bottles/cans. Wine is calculated based on 750ml bottles or 6 x 4 oz glasses. Spirits are calculated based on 750ml bottles or 24 drinks. Please use this for purchasing guideline only. You can adapt the amounts per category to suit your guests' and your product preferences.
