How Many Bottles of Champagne Do You Need?

So how many bottles of Champagne will you need for your event?

Well, it depends on the amount of guests and how generous you are feeling.

• If you want to provide a welcome glass of Champagne for each guest then knowing there are 6 glasses in each Champagne bottle is crucial

• If you have 150 guests you will require 25 bottles of Champagne to give everyone attending 1 glass of Champagne

We might have paid more attention to maths at school if it looked like this.

Heres the info on the number of standard size Champagne bottle you'll need depending on how many people are being served 1 glass:

Number of Guests	Number of Bottles	Number of Glasses
10	2	12
20	4	24
30	5	30
40	7	42
50	9	54
75	13	78
100	17	102
150	25	150
200	34	204
250	42	252
300	50	300
500	84	504
1000	167	1002

But does this maths apply to every Champagne bottle?
