No agenda and no judgement, as in the title how long would it take you to drink half a bottle of white wine? One that you like.

Half an hour.

Don’t like white wine but my fav red that’d be 2 glasses so easily do that in less than an hour

winter8090 · 03/10/2026 20:12

375 ml. I usually go on a 175ml per hour so 2 hours?

TeenToTwenties · 03/10/2026 20:13

2 weeks.

Pieandchips999 · 03/10/2026 20:13

Maybe three hours as that's three small glasses

GreenEyesMillennial · 03/10/2026 20:13

Half a bottle i’d say an hour

frogpigdonkey · 03/10/2026 20:13

Depends if I’ve already had some! My first glass usually doesn’t touch the sides, so maybe 30 mins. An hour if not the first drink.

MilitantFaucet · 03/10/2026 20:14

An hour

keepswimming38 · 03/10/2026 20:14

I have about a medium glass one night then maybe another medium glass 3 nights later. So quite some time.

GoldMoon · 03/10/2026 20:14

I think I haven't had a drink in 2/3 years so longer than that .
But if I'm with someone that does , then maybe a couple of hours if they are taking it steady as that's only 2/3 glasses isn't it ?

Platypusdiver · 03/10/2026 20:15

Depends on my mood. Half an hour (very stressed) to a coup of hours (relaxed vibe, preferably in the sunshine).

ThreeMogsAndCounting · 03/10/2026 20:15

Well ive got one in my fridge. Its been there about two or three months at this point...

NetflixAndKill · 03/10/2026 20:15

3 days 😂 half a glass a day and I’d be flying

Doggymummar · 03/10/2026 20:15

Two weekends

2 weeks.

Really?

LateNightOne · 03/10/2026 20:16

We share a bottle over dinner if we date so a few hours.

CrystalSingerFan · 03/10/2026 20:18

Hold my coat!

PurpleLovecats · 03/10/2026 20:18

About an hour.

postovevibepalace · 03/10/2026 20:19

1.5 - 2 hours normally. If raging or stressed 45 minutes max 🤣

SpottyAlpaca · 03/10/2026 20:20

On a Friday night after a long week at work, probably half an hour, if I take it steady.

With dinner, when I’m being civilised, probably 1.5 hours.

EffortlessDiscussions · 03/10/2026 20:21

A couple of evenings but I wouldn't normally drink two evenings in a row.

mindutopia · 03/10/2026 20:21

I don’t drink anymore, but when I did, 45 minutes tops. I wasn’t a sit around nursing a drink sort of person. This is why I don’t drink anymore.

2boyzNosleep · 03/10/2026 20:23

Anywhere between 30 mins- 2 weeks. 30 mins is usually when I have a glass when im cooking, and probably don't realise I'm gulping it down rather than sips. I won't drink over half a bottle though.

BlackCatBea · 03/10/2026 20:23

At least an hour probably more like 2.

cheesychipsontheoche · 03/10/2026 20:24

Lots of variables. Sometimes, half an hour, sometimes that’s an evenings worth. Depends on the wine as well. Some go down much more easily than others
