What time is a decent time to have a glass of wine?

[YouAreBoringMe]

I wfh. I finish at 5pm.

What time would you crack open a bottle?

I somehow feel that anything before 8pm is a bit too early.

In my wine drinking days: after kids' bedtime, so yes, 8ish

Now is always a good time to start.

Aperos 6pm wine for me Pineau for him. And I watch stupid medical dramas with them (just started ER again ). Crisps for everyone. Every single night. I may have 2 then stop because more than 2 glasses affects my sleep

I would say anytime!

I'm surprised at the early drinkers!

I thought with this being Mumsnet, if children catch a glimpse of their parents drinking alcohol at any time other than a small Cava with Christmas dinner, they're going to become destitute alcoholics and drug addicts before they've even taken their GCSEs? 😱🤣

5... I don't drink loads (used to) and only once a week, so as long as I'm not driving, once I've stopped working anytime is ok.

It's after 8pm here. Get that bottle open.

Pretty much any point after lunch time, when I'm not expected to work or drive is fair game, imo.

6pm, but I like to be in bed with my book by 9pm…

Well, if one has opened a second bottle the day before, you need to start early could go off...😱

With your lunch ? Sitting in the pub waiting for lunch to be served ?

See also “when the suns over the yardarrm”. Which I didn’t realise meant 11am!

I always felt like the sun went over the yard-arm at about 6 pm, but my mother- and father-in-law seemed to think around 4 was OK after they retired. 5 pm is fine in my book.

We are expected to have a drink during our Friday lunchtime team call. Started during lockdown as it replaced pub lunch Fridays.

I always have my G&T with a slice of lemon but if it is busy I have just tonic and a slice.

Usually when I finish at 5....but if I'm not working and the sun is out..... Anything goes. (I work over 7 days so never really get a "weekend off")

I prefer to drink before dinner, so just after 5 is good for me but I probably would have stopped by 630

The bar in my house always opens at 7pm… oh, look at the time!

Usually 6pm on a Friday but we cracked at 5.30 tonight. We don’t drink weeknights so it just arrived a bit earlier tonight.

5pm

I rarely drink but I fancied a glass of rosé after walking the dog so 5.50pm today. I will have another tomorrow 🍷

5.30pm seems to be our acceptable time bar special occasions.

16:59

5.30 to 6.00pm here. I only drink before dinner so 8pm or later is too late for wine for me.

I think the amount and frequency is more important than the timing (so long as you've finished work/driving etc for the day!) - as long as you're not counting down the hours until it's wine time, and you can stop after a sensible number of glasses, then crack it open whenever you like!

God I wish I'd done that when my dds were little!

I don't tend to have more than 2 drinks of an evening so probably start around 6.30. I always have a camomile tea around 8.30 and that stops me wanting any more booze. I'm a bit of a lightweight these days but fully intend on making the most of the all inclusive cocktails on holiday next week!

After breakfast.

Well anytime really depending on the situation. A glass at lunchtime or on a nice day a cold glass sitting in the garden with a book.

I'd go along with it's not the time it's the quantity and frequency.
