Prosecco for your drinks reception

When it comes to choosing Prosecco or for your wedding reception, it really is wise to consider paying corkage and bringing in your own. Many venues charge more corkage on Prosecco and Champagne than they do for wine, however it can still work out better value to bring your own in versus the venue wine list price.

Prosecco is available here at WineOnline from €11, similar to the starting price of our wedding wines. This can offer a substantial saving when you add up the amount of bottles you'll need for your reception.

How many bottles do you need? 

A typical drinks reception lasts for two hours, and with a full bar open, you will most likely go through one bottle of Prosecco for every three people. Therefore, if you have approximately 150 guests you should be aiming for 48 - 50 bottles of bubbles.

If your budget is tight, this is obviously where you can save some costs by reducing that quantity. If you only supply half that number of bottles, then the Processo just runs out a little earlier or perhaps you supplement it with other options. 

Our suggested rule of a third of a bottle per person will ensure that the bubbles are flowing for the two hour reception, and remember - we are happy to take back any unopened bottles.

Take a look at our two Prosecco options below. We can offer a special wedding price of €11 for the Pursecco della Venezie and €14 for the Montegrande Prosecco.
