Here are some recommendations from Natalie MacLean about wine for weddings.

• Calculate your quantity. The average guest consumes about one to two drinks per hour. A bottle of wine contains about five drinks and a bottle of bubbly contains four.

• Match the meal. Choose versatile wines that are food friendly and appeal to many palates. The best choices are neither too light or too heavy.

• Celebrate the bride and groom's history. Personalize the wine choice by selecting those made in the country where they (or their ancestors) were born, or perhaps where they met or live.

• Raise a glass of liquid pearls. Champagne from France isn't the only bubbly suitable for a wedding toast. Look for sparkling wines from North America, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Italy as well. They're delicious too and often less than half the price of champagne.

• See www.nataliemaclean.com for more information on selecting wines.

Nancy's note: We're fond of Gruet Sparkling Wine from New Mexico.
