Take a second to think about your guest list and count the number of people who will actually be drinking. Also take into account that people tend to drink more depending on when the event is. Is it on a Friday night, or a Sunday afternoon?
If you are having a dinner party or would like to make wine available to your party guests in several areas, pour Brown Box Wine into a decanter or carafe.

Also take into consideration what foods you will be serving, and the weather. If it’s an outdoor event in the summer, guests will be more likely to drink chilled white wine than red wine.
