Can anybody tell me what a "typical dinner for two" consists of?
I need to know what a "typical dinner for two" is made up of. For example, is it an appetizer, two main courses and two glasses of wine?
Thanks.

Well, that depends on how many courses...
Could be an appetizer or two, followed by salads, then perhaps soup, then two main courses.
The wine depends on how much you want... a regular bottle is about 5 glasses so it is reasonable to share a bottle between 2 people for dinner.
Also, do not forget dessert... If there are multiple courses then you may just want a small desert which is often served with coffee or a sweet dessert wine...
It depends what the occassion is.
If it is casual-usually 1 appetizer, salad, main course (consisting of 1 protein, 1 starch and 1 or 2 vegetables) (sauce is also nice), and a dessert.
Wine, Beer, Cocktail or a non-alcoholic beverage should always be offered when the guest arrives or if you are at a restaraunt, be prepared for 1 beverage while waiting for the food, perhaps wine for the dinner-be mindful of what type of wine you get (as if you pick the wrong wine, it could adversly affect the flavors of the meal-but there are plenty of sources online, epicurious.com has wine pairing suggestions), and an esspreso or appertif after dinner.
I will say omit the appetizers . Just the two main courses and drinks, no desert either.
