Wine at TJ's

I am going by Trader Joes to pick up some 3 Buck Chuck for a shower next weekend.  There will be 15-18 people and I'm not sure how many are wine drinkers.  How many bottles should I get and what kinds do you recommend?

Re: Wine at TJ's

  • thanks nest for the lovely error messges!
  • If it were my friends I'd get at least a dozen.  :-)  We're lushes though.

    Figure each bottle has about 4 glasses in it, if everyone has at least one glass you'll need 5 bottles. I'd get 6 or 7 to be safe.

    If it's an evening shower I'd get a couple more since people tend to drink more at night. And you can always take home the leftovers & at 3 bucks a bottle, you won't break the bank.

    HTH! Have fun! 

  • Yeh I'm thinking 12-15 bottles.  Any extras can go home with some of the guests.    It is an evening shower.  I guess I should do 1/2 red and 1/2 white?
  • People will drink more white if it's warmer outside & tend to drink more white at social events like this to avoid red wine teeth.  I'd balance it, but go a little heavier on the white.
  • I've recently started getting the vino verde from TJ's. It's $3.99 a bottle and pretty good considering the price (the vino verde I usually get at the Teeter is 8.99 a bottle).

    I love their vino verde!
