| Chart # 2 - How many drinks per bottle | |||||||
| Here, at a glance, are the number of drinks you can expect (1.5 oz. liquor servings, 5 oz. wine servings) from a bottle in the various container sizes. Charted for 1 to 12 bottles. Examples: For a party, people can figure they will need 30 drinks of Scotch, 10 drinks of bourbon, about 40 drinks of vodka or gin. The chart translates their needs to bottles as follows: Two 750 mls of Scotch, one 750 ml of bourbon, one 1.75 Liter of vodka (or gin). Use the same way to figure how much wine to buy. Two 3 liter containers of wine will supply 30 wine servings of 5 oz. each | |||||||
