| 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: The customer figures he will need for his party 30 drinks of Scotch, 10 drinks of bourbon, about 40 drinks of vadka or gin. The chart translates his 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 | |||||||
