What wines are suitable for a wedding?

Choosing the right wines for your wedding

Wine is a key element of a successful wedding. It accompanies the highlights of your reception, from the drinks to dessert, and helps create a warm and memorable atmosphere. At Les Vins de Carole , we guide you in choosing your wines, taking into account your menu, your budget, and the number of guests.

🍾 From the reception drinks to dessert: which wines should you choose?

  • Reception drinks: Opt for a Crémant , a Champagne or a chilled rosé to welcome your guests in a light style.
  • Starters & fish: A dry white wine
  • Meats & main courses: Depending on your menu, opt for a smooth red wine.
  • Cheeses: A characterful white wine or a versatile red wine will be very suitable.
  • Desserts: Finish in style with a mellow, lightly sweetened sparkling wine.

We help you create a harmonious selection, consistent with your menu and suitable for all tastes.

🍷 How many bottles should I plan for a wedding?

Ordering the right quantities is essential to avoid stockouts… without over-ordering. Here are some guidelines:

  • Reception drinks: Allow approximately 1 bottle for 3 people
  • Meal (white + red): On average, 1 bottle of each for 4 people
  • Champagne or Crémant for dessert: 1 bottle for 3 to 5 people

For example, for a wedding with 100 guests:

  • Reception wine: 36 bottles
  • White or rosé wine: 30 bottles
  • Red wine: 36 bottles
  • Sparkling wine for dessert: 24 to 36 bottles

These estimates may vary depending on the length of the event, the season, and the average consumption of your guests. We can help you refine your calculation.
