Wine and Beer
If you want to serve, or sell wine, beer or spirits at your wedding (including UVin/UBrew products), you need a Special Occasion Liquor Licence (SOL). Legislation in British Columbia is changing, and you should familiarize yourself with the regulations at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb/index.htm Most wedding reception venues have a limited list of wine and beer on their beverage/catering menu to choose from, or they may give you the option to bring your own beer or wine (corkage fees usually apply). Bringing in your own product may help to lower your beverage costs, and/or also enable you to serve something more unique than the ‘typical’ choices. Decisions on quantity and wine selections can be complicated. Plan on offering both white and red wine for your guests. And don’t forget about sparkling wine for a celebratory toast to the bride and groom. Try to choose wines with wide appeal. Wine shops have the expertise and experience to assist you with recommendations to suit your budget. It may be helpful to choose 3 or 4 wines, then take time to have family or friends taste them with you for other opinions before making your final selection(s). If you are ordering or bringing outside product to your wedding, give yourself at least 4-6 weeks to make sure your selections(s) arrive in time. What to Order: Rough Guidelines
• 2/3 white to 1/3 red for luncheons or receptions with little or no food • 60/40 red to white for multi-course meals, depending on the menu • Other considerations: time of day, season, guest demographics, venue (e.g. indoor or outdoor)
