Weekend Wine

How long would it take you to finish a bottle of wine?

DH is out and kids doing their own thing.
I opened a bottle of wine at 7pm - how long would it take you to polish it off...?

3 nights 😅

CheesecakeandCrackers · 02/02/2024 20:42

I'd struggle to finish in 2 nights. I usually do half a bottle on a Friday, a couple of small glasses sat and the dregs on Sunday. I could probably do it over the course of a whole day though if I started at lunchtime I just didn't think to try it!

SiobahnRoy · 02/02/2024 20:42

2 hours 🥂

2 nights - with DH. I just can’t do it any more!

Xmasbaby11 · 02/02/2024 20:43

I’d have 2 glasses max on my own. Maybe more with friends.

wineandmaltesers · 02/02/2024 20:43

2-3 hours

PamelaParis · 02/02/2024 20:44

I'd end up pouring about a third of it down the sink in a couple of weeks.

Paintmybathroom · 02/02/2024 20:45

4 hours?

FrenchandSaunders · 02/02/2024 20:46

2 hours

dementedpixie · 02/02/2024 20:46

2-3 hours probably

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 02/02/2024 20:47

OK, the first reply made me 🫢

A few others are more like me - not saying that's right or wrong though!

2 nights - tonight and tomorrow. Might buy a second bottle on Sunday too & finish that off mid-week (more likely next weekend).

Not sure how small your glasses are to make a bottle spin out to have.f on Friday and 2 more glasses on Saturday!

3-4 hours. I think that's fairly standard for someone who would drink a bottle of wine in one sitting. Those who wouldn't will come on to tell you three weeks.

EllaPaella · 02/02/2024 20:50

I could drink nearly a full bottle over the course of an evening. Only on a weekend and in company though!

tellmeonafriday · 02/02/2024 20:51

I opened one at 5:30 and have about a quarter left.

dudsville · 02/02/2024 20:52

I like the concept of "weekend wine" op! I don't have a usual. On a very rare occasion I could have most of the bottle in one festive evening. Never a whole bottle, which doesn't make sense as when i say most of a bottle i definitely mean only one glass of it remaining. I often have 2 glasses, might do that for a few days or or it might sit about for a bit.

Morecatsarebetter · 02/02/2024 20:54

Hour and a bit if I really went for it, which I don’t anymore.

Garman · 02/02/2024 20:57

I manage one glass after really looking forward to 1 or 2, then choke down another a day or two later because I’m so aware it’s open, then end up binning it or using in cooking the following weekend.

ChickpeaPie · 02/02/2024 21:00

A glass tonight, one tomorrow and bin the rest in two weeks like the other posters

Nomorecoconutboosts · 02/02/2024 21:01

I get migraines if I have more than one or two (absolute maximum 175ml x 2)
those of you who only have one glass then don’t really want more…why not buy the mini bottles? There’s a much bigger range than there used to be. I love a mid week small Prosecco or cava mini bottle - 2 flute glasses delicious.

Greensleevevssnotnose · 02/02/2024 21:01

About three days

Berryberrywintermedley · 02/02/2024 21:04

1.5 hours

SweetBirdsong · 02/02/2024 21:05

Yep 3 nights.

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 02/02/2024 21:07

Thanks for the replies!

Well I was planning on a glass or two/half a bottle but have sat here enjoying srolling through MN, listening to R1 (pretending I'm still young and trendy) and now only have a small glass left so will finish that with my lasagne and a couple of episodes of Sex and the City.

So probably 2.5 hours to finish a bottle of (white) wine 🍷
