How Much Wine Do I Need?
When planning a party, especially around the Holidays, the last thing you want to have happen is to run out of wine for your party guests. Below is a simple formula to help you figure out the amount of wine you may need.
Let’s say that you will be hosting six guests at your house. Each guest will probably consume two glasses of wine per hour, so that makes 12 glasses an hour. Take 12 and multiply that by how long you expect your event will be. In this example, the event is three hours. This equals 36 glasses of wine total needed for the evening. There are approximately 8 glasses of wine per bottle, So, divide by 8 and you’ll be left with the number of bottles you will need for the party. This example came to a total of five bottles needed for the evening.

With wildfires once again in the news in California wine country, grapes affected by smoke taint seems to be a concern among wine drinkers. How does it affect wine grapes that have not been harvested? How does smoke taint affect the taste of the wine? We will try to answer these questions.

Unharvested Grapes
Smoke taint, (considered rare) doesn’t always affect wineries and vineyards near a fire. Wind direction as well as how long the smoke from the wildfires lingers, play key factors. Unharvested grapes that have already gone through their ripening process are the most at risk.

Wine Taste
Although there is no risk to the health of the wine itself, it can create certain aroma in the wine that may not be pleasant. These aromas might include plastic or chemical smells, as well as wet cigar or ash smells.
