Finishing my bottle of wine off in the bath

Had half a bottle of wine with my curry last night. Finishing it off now in the bath. DH thinks this is weird and unacceptable but I don’t really care. Any opinions? Or should I check myself in to AA?

Next time, add some bubbles, light candles & enjoy!

If it's white you're being massively unreasonable. It's too warm in there.

I can't bear having a bath, but YA definitely NBU. Drinking wine in the shower would just be, well, weird...

Oh 😳.

Haven't had a bath or a drink for over 10 years but it does sound wonderful. Glamorous and decadent. Definitely do it. Shower and a cup of tea for me. Nowhere near as much fun.

Sounds like a wonderfully indulgent way to end the week! Not weird at all. Straight out of the bottle sounds like a more practical option, don't want a wine glass breaking and glass bottles are far sturdier .....although another option to eliminate any breakage opportunities would be to use one of those huski wince tumbler/coolers.....on my Amazon wishlist.

Oh brilliant idea. I have a third of a bottle of wine leftover and quite fancy a bath.

LostMyLanyard · 09/03/2025 20:54

Sounds idyllic to me OP, crack on 👌🏻

Many years ago I had a lovely old house with huge sash windows...I spent many a happy hour in the bath, window open, with my bottle of wine on the ledge to keep it a) cool and b) handy 🥰

I miss that ledge 😬

One of life's greatest pleasures... enjoy!

I love a wine in the bath however I don't think it's something you can really drink out the bottle so for that YABU 😅

DH thinks this is weird and unacceptable
unacceptable? is he your dad?
cheeky prick

OllyBJolly · 09/03/2025 19:15

Wine, a bath and a podcast - that is my idea of a well spent hour!

DD got me a little tray that fits across the bath to hold a glass and a book. Best present ever

I have an insulated, lidded stemless 'wine' glass from www.shoreusable.com that is perfect for bath time sipping, camping, picnics or just sitting on the patio. Doesn't shatter and keeps bugs out. Other cups are available.

You wrote DH - did you mean dear father?

I assume you’re an adult and not a child, so you can do whatever you want and don’t need someone else’s permission.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 09/03/2025 18:33

It's a fine idea.
I do it, and often I don't even bother filling the bath. I just see it as a facility so you can't fall over. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

Mumofyellows · 09/03/2025 18:32

Sounds bloody lovely!

7catsisnotenough · 09/03/2025 18:28

Book, nibbles, wine and cigarettes (. know - guilty pleasure!) and a long, hot bath - absolute bliss!

Sadly one of the pipes under the bath burst last week so I can but dream until the insurance company sorts it out 😭

oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends · 09/03/2025 18:28

In my opinion, wine is wasted with a curry.
I'd have had a beer last night, & had all the wine in the bath.
Erm, no. I don't have a bath, shower is impractical, so just the bottle in front of the TV.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 09/03/2025 18:24

@Mumwithbaggage Give it time. I'm sure someone will be along to tell us what a dreadful lot of lushes we are soon...

FishPie2 · 09/03/2025 18:22

I have just stayed in a lovely old fashioned hotel for 4 nights which had a great big bath so I bought some nice bath goods (I only have a shower at home) and every afternoon I had half a bottle of wine whilst having a relaxing long soak then a shower to rinse off the bubbles. 😍

Mumwithbaggage · 09/03/2025 18:16

Wow! A whole MN thread involving wine without the usual pile of judging! Must admit, I wouldn't drink out of the bottle but have no issue with a very big wine glass.

guffaux · 09/03/2025 18:15

we go on holiday with dp's brother and sister in law.... love them dearly but i would not survive the week without my daily bath with a very (very) large glass of red wine around 5pm

BustyLaRoux · 09/03/2025 18:10

I have also just finished last night’s wine whilst in the bath. Everyone is out. Why the hell not??

PeriPeriMam · 09/03/2025 18:08

He will need to spell out exactly what is supposedly wrong about this wonderful precious scenario, in order that I could understand what is his objection to it
