Wedding Wine Guide

Wine Education

Planning wine for a wedding is easier when you think about guest count, event length, menu, weather, and whether wine is the main beverage or part of a larger bar. Fujioka's Wine TIMES can help couples and planners choose crowd-friendly bottles for ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, and welcome parties.

How much wine do I need for a wedding?

Short answer: A common planning estimate is about one bottle of wine for every two adult guests for a standard reception, then adjust based on event length, menu, and whether beer, cocktails, or spirits are also served.

For example, 100 adult guests may start around 50 bottles as a planning baseline. Add more for wine-focused receptions, longer events, or menus where wine is the primary beverage.

What wines work well for weddings?

Sparkling wine for toasts and arrivals.
Crisp white wine for seafood, salads, and lighter dishes.
Medium-bodied reds for broad guest appeal.
Rosé or aromatic whites for outdoor Hawaii celebrations.
