Because of the secondary fermentation right in the bottle, méthode champenoise sparkling wine will last a very long time in your wine cellar - so why not stock up!

Seriously, you can count on getting five 5-ounce servings of sparkling wine out of each correctly opened 750ml bottle.

As a general rule of thumb, you should plan on each guest that is having sparkling wine consuming 1.5 glasses for a one hour reception; or anticipate 1/2 bottle per person for a 3 to 4 hour event (plus an extra bottle for the host!)

So if you have 10 people over to ring in the New Year, plan on 6 bottles but if you have 150 adult guests at your daughter's wedding, plan on four cases or 48 bottles!
