You were able to serve 80 people from a bottle of wine?

Did they drink from thimbles?

No, I said that the party was attended by ~80 people, some of them took my bottle of wine from among all available bottles and drank it (most people looked at what is available and then decided what to get). I saw only one lady that said "wow, this must be a very expensive wine!" and as she looked around excited to share the finding, nobody cared, and the ones who were drinking it seemed to drink it like a juice, completely uninterested.

Wine tastings will often give you just the barest splash of liquid. Even then, getting 80 servings out of a 750ml bottle is impressive. Roughly 9ml per serving, or 3/10 of an ounce for Americans.

I really can't blame the guests for having trouble identifying it as a particularly superb wine when they don't get enough to coat their tongue.

You need to find a better wine merchant. You need at least enough to fill your mouth twice over...
