How-Many-Bottles-Are-in-a-Case-of-Wine
When purchasing wine, understanding packaging sizes can help you plan better, whether you’re stocking up for a special event or adding to your personal collection. One common question that arises is: how many bottles are in a case of wine?
Typically, a standard case of wine contains 12 bottles. This is the industry norm, particularly in the United States, and applies to most wines, including red, white, and sparkling varieties. Each bottle generally holds 750 milliliters of wine, which is equivalent to about five glasses.
However, there are exceptions to this rule. For example:
- Half cases: Some retailers offer a half case, which contains 6 bottles.
- Larger cases: In rare instances, wine is sold in larger cases, such as a 15-bottle case, but these are less common.
- Specialty bottles: Larger bottles like magnums (1.5L) or jeroboams (3L) may come in smaller cases, as the bottle size itself affects the number of bottles per case.
Knowing the number of bottles in a case ensures you have the right amount of wine for your needs, helping you avoid overbuying or underbuying.
