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.

It would evaporate first - I don't drink!

Helpful!

If I’m having a few glasses then probably half an hour to 45 minutes. Later in the evening I can easily drag a glass out to last me an hour if I’m a bit tipsy.

2 or 3 evenings.

Sunshine1500 · 04/10/2026 23:22

30min to an hour or so

Iamnotalemming · 04/10/2026 23:44

All night! I am a slow drinker

FantasyFoodhall · 05/10/2026 02:43

2 or 3 days I should think

Half a 750ml bottle (just clarifying for the bagnum drinkers out there, lol) would be 2 decent size glasses for me at 12.5 % alcohol.

these days about 45 minutes with a generous guzzle on the first one. I will usually go for a 3rd leading into dinner, but there’s about it for me these days.

When I was a student I necked half a bottle straight down in probably 30 seconds as we queued up for NYE at my mates University SU. I then proceeded to get a Midnight kiss from a gorgeous guy. At 60 I only drink at weddings to toast the bride sort of level. For many years it would have been a couple of hours.

An hour.
I have a bottle of red a week. Don't drink white.

Am I also socialising? 30-45 mins. Just drinking, 20-30. Less if it's champagne.

TheQueenOfEverything · 05/10/2026 14:38

Not long 30 minutes

Noodge · 05/10/2026 14:57

Right now probably about ten minutes.

I had two large glasses last night at the pub, probably spanned about an hour and a half.

A year? I don’t drink it by the glass but tend to use alcohol in cooking occasionally, so I might open a bottle of something and bung it in the utility fridge door and then completely forget about it for several months. DH doesn’t drink either.

Me too.

Just under an hour probably

LaDamaDeElche · 05/10/2026 16:04

It depends. If I drink a bottle of wine over an evening I usually drink it in 3 - 3.5 hours. The first half definitely goes down quicker than the second so depends which half 😂

VerbenaGirl · 05/10/2026 20:21

An hour?

TheThirteenthFairy · 06/10/2026 12:23
