No More Whining Over the Wine Tab
If you're paying the tab for any upcoming parties, one thing to keep an eye on is the wine and how it's served. Co-owners of a Diamond Certified company, tell clients to buy their wine from places that will let you return unopened bottles. They recommend asking the caterer or restaurant staff to save all the bottles, corks and empties too. You get an accurate count that way.
Have the servers pour about 1/2 glass for starters, so guests can fully enjoy the flavor and bouquet. On average, you can count on getting 4 to 5 glasses per bottle. Finally, unfinished bottles are yours to take home. Just make sure you transport them in your trunk to be on the safe side.
