25bottles of wine (if all guests drink wine)
a 750 ml bottle pours 5 glasses; plan ~2.5 glasses per drinker

| What | Amount |
|---|---|
| Cases (12 bottles), rounded up | 3 |
| Mixed crowd (half drink wine) | 13 bottles |
| Typical red/white split | 60% red / 40% white |
A 750 ml bottle pours five glasses, and wine drinkers average about 2.5 glasses per evening — one bottle per two drinkers. A 60/40 red-to-white split fits most dinner crowds; flip it in summer.
Unopened bottles are returnable at many shops — over-buy confidently and ask about return policy at purchase.
Adjusting for your crowd: kids eat about two-thirds of adult portions; knock 25% off any single item when several mains share the table; add 25% for teenagers and big appetites. When in doubt, round up on the cheap items (buns, chips, ice) and stay exact on the expensive ones.
