Mixed Wine Cases Explained: How to Choose the Right Case for Any Occasion

Sometimes the right wine depends on what you're using it for. Once the occasion is clear, the case almost picks itself. At Mr.Wheeler Wine, our mixed wine cases are chosen by our own wine team and grouped by style, region or occasion. 

Here, we'll walk you through choosing the right mixed wine case for any occasion, whether you need a Tuesday-night bottle, a summer barbecue, a wedding or a dinner party.

Mixed Wine Cases for Entertaining at Home: Dinner Parties & BBQs

Entertaining is the occasion most people reach for a mixed case of wine, because you rarely know exactly what everyone will want. Having a selection of styles ready means the red-only guest and the white wine drinker are all satisfied. It's also one of the main reasons people buy wine by the case at Mr.Wheeler Wine: one delivery covers the whole evening. 

Hosting a Dinner Party?

For a sit-down dinner party, our Dinner Party Mixed Case takes your menu from a refreshing aperitif white to a rich, full-bodied red, so there's something to pair with every course.

If you’d prefer red wine for the entire meal, our Dinner Party Reds Mixed Case is curated specifically to pair with heartier, slow-cooked dishes.

Planning a Summer BBQ?

For outdoor entertaining, the food changes and so should the wine.

Our Ultimate BBQ Red Wine Case brings together three bold, opulent reds that are ready to be poured alongside smoky, charred grilled burgers, sausages and skewers.

Heading Out for a Picnic?

If you're hosting in the garden or having a picnic on a warm afternoon, our Picnic Wine Mixed Case contains crisp whites, pale rosés and easy-drinking reds that pair effortlessly with cheeses, light salads and seafood.

If you're setting a full table on the patio instead, the Outdoor Dining Mixed Wine Case offers a versatile, food-friendly selection tailored to match everything from grilled chicken and summer salads to alfresco platters. 

Mixed Wine Cases for Celebrations and Gifts: Weddings, Birthdays and Thank-yous

A mixed wine case takes the pressure off finding one perfect bottle. Our wedding mixed cases, birthday mixed cases and anniversary mixed cases are grouped by occasion.

Looking for a Share-Friendly Summer Gift?

Our Summer White Case moves from a peachy Sicilian Grillo and a racy Mâcon Chardonnay to Alsatian Pinot Blanc, Argentine Sauvignon, South African Chenin and a Provence rosé blend. It's a generous choice for summer entertaining and steps up to a 12-bottle case when your recipient is catering for a crowd.

Sending a Wine Lover's Gift?

For a more considered wine gift, our Fine White Burgundy Mixed Case sits within our wider fine wine mixed cases range, drawn from Burgundy's most respected Chardonnay appellations.

Sending Corporate Thank Yous?

Our corporate gifting service can arrange multi-address delivery and add a personalised message or company literature to each gift. For orders of ten units or more, we can laser-engrave a wooden gift box with a company logo or seasonal message. Cases can also be paired with our wider wine gifts range for higher-value clients.

Everyday Drinking: The Midweek Bottle and the Wine Rack Top-Up

Buying a mixed case of wine for mid-week drinking or to top up the wine rack is really a shortcut. 

This is the main reason people buy wine by the case at Mr.Wheeler Wine, and it's why our Mid-Week Drinkers Mixed Case is one of our best sellers: 12 bottles, 6 wines and 5 countries. There's a red-only and white-only version if you already know which way you lean.

Ordering wine cases online UK-wide counts towards our free UK delivery threshold of £180.

Our mixed case picks for everyday drinking:

• Mid-Week Drinkers Mixed Case (the all-rounder, red and white across five countries)

• Mid-Week Drinkers Red Case or Mid-Week Drinkers White Case (if you know your preference)

• Italian Whites Mixed Case (six regional Italian whites for summer suppers)
