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.

Are you a borrower?!😂

A standard bottle is 6 standard glasses so 3 standard glasses is half a bottle

Summerunlover · 04/10/2026 18:01

Probably two nights. A glass night.

I rarely drink - i have a bottle of prosecco in my fridge that I was given on my birthday 7 months ago 😂😂
But once its open, I tend to mix wine with lemonades so 3 glasses would be half the bottle. I'll usually only have 2, if I did have 3 it would be spread over a couple of hours, im really not much of a drinker at all 😂

Around 2 hrs.

A month :(

Noddyslittleredcar · 04/10/2026 18:15

2 hours if it's with dinner. Probably a little less if it's not with food.

Always makes me laugh when people comment on these kind of posts who don't drink 😂

It's like a post about commuting into London I saw once and the amount of people who posted "I live in the north and work in Manchester so wouldn't know". CHEERS LOVE REALLY HELPFUL.

OP - half a bottle would take DH and I half hour so an hour if I drank half a bottle to myself

Also the posters that say 'if you can't go without alcohol for one meal on Christmas Day, then you have a drink problem!'😀
I don't get every Christmas day off work so i'm having the glass or two of sherry and wine.

CherryKerry · 04/10/2026 18:23

DH and I shared a bottle with our tea, he finished his in about 30 minutes and I'm finished in 45 minutes. (Including the time taken to do the dishes and tidy the kitchen afterwards).

ChocolateCinderToffee · 04/10/2026 18:24

I'd probably only drink that much with food, so maybe 60-90 minutes.

Cakeandcardio · 04/10/2026 18:29

About 1 to 1.5 hours

hopingforabigchange · 04/10/2026 18:42

I quite like the odd small glass, probably could keep a bottle in the fridge for a month or more.
I can't control myself around crisps or chocolate buttons though 😂

watermybegonias · 04/10/2026 18:46

A couple of years.

Freda69 · 04/10/2026 18:49

It could be in a cupboard for years because I only like red. Probably drink half a bottle of red in 1.5 hours with a nice dinner.

gingercat02 · 04/10/2026 18:50

Half a bottle is 2 glasses, about an hour, but red not white.

Namemechangey · 04/10/2026 18:52

Half an hour to two weeks… really depends. If I am actually drinking wine in a night out probably pacing one glass every 45 minutes to start.

Merryoldgoat · 04/10/2026 18:55

Is there a prize? I could down in in the right circumstances…

A standard bottle is 6 standard glasses so 3 standard glasses is half a bottle

We are different people.

A standard bottle is three glasses 😂

I would be up for that challenge

CurdinHenry · 04/10/2026 19:02

I could in 15 minutes it's delicious and refreshing

Try to make it last longer so the fun lasts

WobblyJogger · 04/10/2026 19:05

Anything from 10 minutes to 2 hours.

Iamblossom · 04/10/2026 19:05

I've drunk half a bottle of white wine this evening. I started at about 5 and I've still got most of a glass to go. So 2.5/3 hours? Much faster if I was in a pub though and we were doing rounds

Kayahew · 04/10/2026 19:05

Half an hour to an hour

LiquoriceAllsorts2 · 04/10/2026 19:06

Well realistically probably about an hour ish. But it would vary a lot of the given day, could make it last much longer or down in in 5 mins if I had to
