One of the biggest parts of the celebration is the food and drink, and wine. Picking the right wine for your wedding can seem overwhelming, but with a little planning, you can make sure your guests enjoy every sip on your big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_5_tips_to_help_you_pick_the_right_wine_for_your_wedding\"><\/span>Here are 5 tips to help you pick the right wine for your wedding:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Red_or_White\"><\/span>1. Red or White?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the first decisions you\u2019ll have to make is whether to serve red or white wine (or both!). This depends on your wedding theme, the season and personal preference. A good rule of thumb is to offer a Pinot Grigio for white wine lovers and a Pinot Noir for red wine lovers. By offering both you\u2019ll cater to all tastes and make sure all your guests can drink a wine they love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Wine For Your Wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"Two people toasting with wine on beach.\" class=\"wp-image-11043400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-770x501.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1536x999.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-293x191.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1400x911.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-390x254.jpg 390w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" title=\"5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Wine For Your Wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"Two people toasting with wine on beach.\" class=\"wp-image-11043400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-770x501.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1536x999.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-293x191.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-1400x911.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash-390x254.jpg 390w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/engin-akyurt-hirk2fwo1sc-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Wine For Your Wedding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_much_to_spend_on_wedding_wine\"><\/span>2. How much to spend on wedding wine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much you spend on wine for your wedding will depend on the number of guests. As a general rule of thumb, it\u2019s recommended that half a bottle of wine be supplied per guest. So if you have 100 guests, plan for 50 bottles. Keep your budget in mind but don\u2019t feel you have to break the bank. Many affordable wines are just as good and will please your guests just as much as the expensive ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Wine For Your Wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two people toasting with white wine outdoors.\" class=\"wp-image-11043395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" title=\"5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Wine For Your Wedding\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two people toasting with white wine outdoors.\" class=\"wp-image-11043395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/zan-lazarevic-wruefkptlqs-unsplash.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">5 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Wine For Your Wedding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Buying_in_bulk\"><\/span>3.
