Lesson details

If you’ve got some big bookings coming up in your venue, getting your wine order in is most likely at the top of your priorities list.

The big thing you should figure out before you place the order is how much wine you really need to stock. If you order too much it will take up space, get in your way and you’ll have to think up ways to shift it quickly.

But if you don’t order enough, even worse! Not only will your guests be disappointed (or angry) but you’ll come across as disorganized and customers will quickly lose their trust in your ability to run a good function. So getting that wine order right is crucial!

In this lesson, sommelier and wine educator Kristene King Thrall helps you figure out how much wine to order for a party or function in your venue.

  • How to gauge how much wine you will need to stock in your venue for a standard three-course function (with a champagne toast!)
