Finishing my bottle of wine off in the bath

66 replies

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?

Bath plus wine plus book is one of my ways to spoil myself, but definitely need a glass! And not plastic! When we had our bathroom done a few years back there was a space next to the bath so I got them to do me a nice little gin shelf😂

Drinking it out of the bottle🫢

I was about to ask if you were having a bubble bath with candles all around and drinking the wine out of nice crystal. But if straight from the bottle works for you, crack on !!

Wow!
I'm teetotal because I literally stopped coping with alcohol - but if you are alright with it, why not?
Also, curry and wine, that would mean a long time in the toilet for me 😕
(Some sort of IBS, probably anxiety etc).

Crack on, why not?!

Pretty much this

CalicoPusscat · 09/03/2025 17:54

If you enjoy it go right ahead! It's your 'you' time, nothing to do with DH.

I very rarely drink but I’m pretty sure even I’ve had a glass of wine in the bath, along with some snacks and chocolate 😁

I wouldn't swig out the bottle though, that doesn’t seem ambient enough for me. Low lights, a plastic glass (rather than cup) and a selection of treats 😊

Tell your partner you are getting one of these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/bath-wine-glass-holder/s?k=bath+wine+glass+holder

I already have one of those. Glass of wine, ebook, candle (on the side, I'm not mad) sorted.
DS uses it too he can watch YouTube in the bath. He doesn't have wine!

Some men just can’t see women having a nice time without them, can they?

Assuming he’s never been to the pub/had a beer on a Friday and a Saturday. If only we could all be so holy as he.

@GloriousBlue Baths just dont work for me. Too warm, too bored.

Add some more cold water and take a book 😁.

I had a glass of wine in the bath last night to finish the bottle I opened Friday evening, my favourite way to relax at end of day xxx

Iloveacurry · 09/03/2025 17:50

Sounds great op!

NewYearNewDietAgain · 09/03/2025 17:49

I regularly drink wine in the bath! Grin

Pllystyrene · 09/03/2025 17:48

I love a glass of wine in the bath, especially with a face mask and bath bomb 🥰

If it was half a bottle last night and the rest tonight as a one off fine, if it's a daily thing it's not so fine.

Thing is partners get to see the full picture so perhaps your dp has reason to think it is unacceptable?

Bad news @Clocloxx ive been waiting 15 years

Lovely, enjoy it.

Mind the water isn't too hot though, I've occasionally fainted after a bath wine if the bathroom gets too steamy.

cait967 · 09/03/2025 17:43

And see the harm. That said I hate wine in the bath. I love wine and I love baths just not together

diddl · 09/03/2025 17:42

Weird & unacceptable?

In what way?

Wine at 5, wine without food(?)

How does it affect him?

Yanbu xxxx

Hedjwitch · 09/03/2025 17:40

Go for it. Sounds perfect

Rainbow1235 · 09/03/2025 17:40

Enj I’m about to pour a large glass myself but I’m just out of the bath

JacqFrost · 09/03/2025 17:37

He's just jealous you thought of a way to finish off the bottle before he did. Crack on and enjoy I say. Simple pleasures on a Sunday afternoon.

coolmum123 · 09/03/2025 17:33

If it’s your thing go for it. Personally I won’t do it because wine and hot water can affect blood pressure so I would worry about fainting

GloriousBlue · 09/03/2025 17:33

Any time I've tried, the thought of it has been better than the reality.

Baths just dont work for me. Too warm, too bored.

If much rather have it in front of the fire, on dry land :)
