party with friends. As with wine, champagne has different notes, price ranges, sweetness levels,
and different size range to buy. So let’s help you figure out how many bottles you will need
depending on if you have two, ten, or twenty people to host for.

How Many Glasses of champagne in a Bottle?

A standard bottle of champagne holds 750ml of alcohol. Depending on how heavy your
pour determines how many glasses it will yield. Typically one bottle should give you five full
glasses of champagne. If you are just pouring for a commemorative toast, your pour will be less
and should yield about seven to eight glasses.

How Many Bottle of Champagne Do I Need for 70 People?

If you are throwing a party and just buy a normal bottle of champagne from the store,
depending on how many people are in attendance, you may have to buy more than one bottle.
Thankfully, there is an easier way than filling up your shopping cart with rows of champagne
bottles.
There are, in fact, four different sizes of champagne bottles! This is your guide to helping you
figure out exactly what you need. The first size is a normal 750ml champagne bottle which gives
you five glasses per bottle (this is what you see more of in every store). The second size is called
a “Magnum”.

How many Litres in a Magnum of Champagne?

a Magnum champagne bottle is 1.5L, it is twice the size of a regular bottle and
gives you ten full glasses of champagne. The third size is called a “Double Magnum” — a
double magnum is four times the size of a normal bottle gives you 20 full glasses. Lastly, if you
are really wanting to never have to worry about how far your champagne will go, you have the
Jeroboam. This one bottle of champagne holds six regular-sized bottles in one and is the largest
bottle of champagne you can buy. You will be astounded at seeing just how massive this bottle
is.

If you have 70 people in attendance at a function, for everyone to have one full glass, you would
need:

  • Regular Bottle = 14

  • Balthazar = 1


This chart all depends on how many people you have in attendance and how much fridge space
you have as well.

How Many Bottles of Champagne in a Nebuchadnezzar?

Firstly, what is a Nebuchadnezzar? I hear you ask. Well a Nebuchadnezzar isn’t a bottle for just any party size. This is the biggest and baddest of champagne bottles. This bottle holds 15L of champagne which is the equivalent of 20 regular bottles. This massive bottle will serve 120 flute glasses to the brim with champagne. So if you
are throwing an extravaganza this is the bottle that will ensure all of your guests have enough to
drink.

What is a Split of Champagne?

An average bottle of champagne is 750ml. Sometimes that may be too much for just one
person and sadly an open bottle of champagne can lose its bubbles if left open for too long. That
is why there is something called a “split” of champagne or a piccolo. The petite bottles are
187.5mL and the perfect serving size for one glass of champagne. So if you need something
quick and on the go or just don’t want to buy a whole bottle, this is perfect for you.
There are so many different flavour profiles and sizes when it comes to champagne.
Thankfully there is a little something for everyone. However many people you may have at your
next party, you now have the perfect guide as to how much champagne to buy and you can wow
people by being the perfect cocktail host or hostess.
