Inspired by the ‘staples’ thread. We have wine and I can5 remember the last time we didn’t...

Hmmm maybe I need to rethink my choices,

Nope, we don’t drink and I’ve honestly never liked wine anyway.

EileenGC · 12/02/2021 22:19

No, because I don’t drink. Not too helpful, sorry Grin

IsolaPribby · 12/02/2021 22:20

I'm fine with having wine in the house.

NOT having wine, now that is a problem.......

Reinventinganna · 12/02/2021 22:21

No but am buying some tomorrow

HeadNorth · 12/02/2021 22:21

Always Grin

doctorhamster · 12/02/2021 22:22

I do now but I probably won't by the morning!

Medievalist · 12/02/2021 22:22

Yes - about 2 dozen bottles.

SendMeHome · 12/02/2021 22:22

Yeah, usually. We stock up when it’s on offer... so there’s usually a few bottles of Pinot and a few bottles of red.

IHaveBrilloHair · 12/02/2021 22:22

No because its disgusting.
I do have beer in though, and tequila Grin

Bokky · 12/02/2021 22:22

Yes we do. DH did the food shop earlier and bought more Grin

Chasingsquirrels · 12/02/2021 22:22

I do, and I don't drink.

milkysmum · 12/02/2021 22:23

Pretty much always. Or I'll certainly nip to the local shop and grab a bottle if I don't.

Iloveacurry · 12/02/2021 22:23

We always have wine!

yahyahs22 · 12/02/2021 22:23

Nope, don't drink !

WonkyCactus · 12/02/2021 22:23

Nope, not fussed about drinking unless I'm out for a meal or something. Needless to say, I haven't had a drink in a year!

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/02/2021 22:23

Yes, a box delivered by Virgin wine every month. That’s not enough though so we supplement from the supermarket!

CherryRoulade · 12/02/2021 22:23

Yes, of course. We do a wine shop about once a quarter.

CaribouCarafe · 12/02/2021 22:24

Yes - although we are now on our last quarter of a bottle so will top up soon!

RaininSummer · 12/02/2021 22:24

I usually keep between 4 and 12 bottles in but only open around one it two a month depending on what I am cooking. Just like to have a choice and there's usually something there with was gifted to me which I don't like. Currently it's a bottle of prosecco from the boss. I coukd easily not have it in and just drink water though.

RJnomore1 · 12/02/2021 22:25

Definitely. always good reds and usually some white and some fizz.

LadyDanburysCane · 12/02/2021 22:25

We currently have 22 bottles of red, 4 rose, 6 white, 6 “fizz” (some champagne, some prosecco). We drink a LOT of wine and have it delivered by the case 🥴

mynameiscalypso · 12/02/2021 22:25

We normally have a couple of bottles. We're running low at the moment. Think I might need to do an order.

gluteustothemaximus · 12/02/2021 22:25

Yes. But it's disappearing. Send help.

HelloThereMeHearties · 12/02/2021 22:25

We have some good bottles in, which I don't tend to drink. Prefer gin!

StillMedusa · 12/02/2021 22:26

Always. My glass of wine is my treat for getting through the day!
