In order to make sure your wine is at its finest for the memorable event, we recommend that you start your wine as soon as possible to ensure that your wine receives proper aging. The longer you age it, the smoother and richer it will be.
Wine Aging Time
Whether you are making wine to be consumed at your wedding or to hand out as a gift to all your guests, you want to ensure you provide enough time for your wine to ferment and bottle age.
Wine will typically require 4 to 8 weeks before the wine is ready to bottle and a further 2 to 12 months to age depending on the wine kit you choose.
White Wines
For white wines we recommend that once you bottle your wine, you age it in the bottle for at least another 2 to 3 months before serving it at your wedding.
Red Wines
Red wines require a little be more time to age; however, the resulting wine will show great depth of flavour. You will want to age red wine for a minimum of 4 months before serving.
The earlier you make your wine the more time it will have to allow the flavours to fully develop, so the wait will definitely be worth it!
Serving Guidelines
A good rule of thumb is about 2-3 glasses (500mL) per guest. Some guests will drink less, some will drink more, and it’s always better to have some more than not enough!
Each kit/batch of wine makes 23 litres (30 x 750mL bottles), which is enough for 46 guests. For large groups, the following are helpful guidelines:
1 – 45 guests = 1 batch
46 – 90 guests = 2 batches
91 – 135 guests = 3 batches
136 – 180 guests = 4 batches
What kind(s) of wine should I serve?
Whether you select red or white wine is your personal preference, but you may want to consider the type of food you will be serving when making your selection. Our staff can help you select the best wines to pair with your menu, and we can also offer suggestions of our most popular varietals so that you can select wines that are sure to please a crowd.
If you have any additional questions or would like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 519-750-0861 or to stop in to speak with one of wine consultants. We’ll be happy to answer all of your questions, and to help you select the best wines for your special day.
