If you are interested in wine and like to serve it, here are a few general guidelines and tips:
1. A pour (full-size): 4 to 6 oz, depending on the glass size. You will probably get 4 to 6 full-sized glasses per bottle of wine.
2. A magnum bottle: 1.5 liters, You can get about 25 – 2 oz tasting glasses per magnum bottle of wine.
3. Sparkling wines are usually served in smaller sized pours.
4. If you are hosting a large party or event, one case of wine which is 12 bottles generally gives you about 70 glasses of wine.
5. There are different glasses for different types of wine beverage. There is a glass for each color wine; such as, red, and white. There are even dessert glasses for a dessert wine and a champagne glass for champagne.
The beverage is very versatile — so much so you can even serve Rose Wine right at home for your guests at barbeques. It can be a chilled alternative to white. You can serve it at a dinner party with antipasto as well. No matter what a refreshing glass of wine can really “hit the spot”.
You will need to choose just the right glass; however. This is so important. Most people would rather not even drink the wine unless the glass is right for it. Try the test yourself. Pour a good quality wine into 3 glasses. Make sure two of them are regular glasses. Make the third one an elegant tall thinned stem one. The thinnest elegant glass usually is the choice that wins. Search online for reputable glass shoppes.
