A wedding is an important celebration for many people. Today it is often celebrated with a feast, and it can last for many hours. It is necessary to calculate the amount of alcoholic drinks for the event so that there is enough for everyone.
For such a holiday, they often buy champagne, wine and vodka. Less often, cognac, martini or other drinks appear on the tables. The amount of alcohol depends on the number of guests. It is necessary to decide in advance: do most of the participants like to drink or are low drinkers? Make a list of people who will consume spirits, if possible, ask people what they prefer. Such data will help make the calculation more accurate.
In summer, alcohol is consumed less. Not many will drink vodka in the heat, but the wine will go better. In winter, spirits will be more popular. Remember to buy soft drinks as well. Usually it takes 1.5-2 liters per person, but if it's hot outside the windows, it is worth doubling the amount.
It is difficult to quench your thirst with sugary drinks, so it is important to buy drinking water as well.
Champagne is drunk at the ransom, if there is one, then at the registry office and on a walk. At the table, only the first toast is usually raised with a frothy drink, and then everyone moves on to something else. For redemption, one glass is enough for each participant, since the holiday is just beginning. Accordingly, one bottle is enough for 4 people. On a walk, they already drink more, 500 ml for each will be enough, but remember that not all guests will go to see off the young. Don't forget to buy mineral water and sugary soft drinks for these events. People may just want to freshen up. There must be at least 1 bottle of champagne on the tables for three guests. It must be served chilled.
Vodka and wine are used for snacks. The number depends on the length of the event. Usually for a holiday lasting 6 hours they buy 0.5 vodka for each drinking guest and one bottle of wine. This is enough for a banquet, but if the duration is longer, then alcohol must be bought from other calculations. At 10 o'clock event, count on 1 bottle of vodka for each man and 1 bottle of wine for each woman. Serve the wine slightly chilled.
Wine for a holiday is usually taken semi-dry or semi-sweet. These are the best options that will suit many. Red wine is suitable for any meat dishes, white for fish and poultry. Rosé wines are considered versatile, but different drinks are available for guests to choose from.
If the holiday takes place in nature or the second day of the banquet is moved to the camp site, you can also buy beer. This drink is drunk very well in the heat, it will take 2-3 liters per person. The foamy version is suitable for kebabs, it can be purchased in addition to other drinks. But it is not recommended to put beer on the banquet table. For those who wish, you can organize a small separate refrigerator.
A mixture of beer and wine or something stronger can lead to very high intoxication, and this is not always appropriate.
It is better to buy alcohol in advance and with a small margin. If there is not enough alcohol, you can agree on the possibility of buying something else already at the venue. Usually alcohol is purchased in large hypermarkets or wholesalers, this allows you to save a little. Watch out for promotions and discounts on drinks, sometimes the offers are very attractive, and if you look through them in advance, there is a possibility of reducing the costs of these products by 15-40%.
