Just an aside not directly related to specific wine but based on wedding experience -- if you are having an open (liquor) bar in addition to the wine, you may not need quite as much wine unless you know your guests to be big wine drinkers. Also, if you are doing a formal champagne toast, where everyone is given a glass automatically, you may need more champagne. Check with your caterer/hotel to find out if you have to keep any leftovers, or if they "buy" them back. We had to buy all of ours, and wound up with two cases of champagne and a case of white left over. The good news is, the white was a french 95 Chardonnay that's better now than when we first served it, and the champagne was useful for gifts. Always better to have too much than not enough, I say. Also, if you are persnickity about financial matters, you may want to insist on a bottle count at the end of the night (have a trusted friend or relative be responsible) so you don't get overcharged and so you (or your designated person or wedding coordinator) will be able to take home any leftovers (if that is what you agree to). And when deciding on which wines, if price is a factor you may want to comparison shop and see what the markup is -- you may be able to negotiate a better price. Most places are scrupulous and above-board, but ya never know...
