to ask if you have equal measures of wine

[cjt110]

2 of us. DH and I. matching wine glasses. We fill our glasses level. One of the matching glasses has broken leaving 2 very different ones.

One of us - I will not say who - has taken to decanting the wine into a measuring jug to ensure equal measures are distributed until new glasses are purchased.

Is the whole equal measures thing weird or the done thing?

The reason for the jug is thimble vs golfish sizes of glasses

Why do you only own 2 wine glasses? See comment re quartz work surfaces and being sad fuckers who don't have people round...

No, I choose not to drink as much as DH. Just drink what you want.

You've just reminded me to put my wine in the fridge for tonight!

Im with the measurer on this one. It must be equal

Oh, I'd totally do this if we only had one bottle in.

DP would think it childish and weird- but he's a greedy fucking pig about wine.

Is this one of those situations where you also have to count out the spaghetti strands/cheerios to make sure it's fair?

We let one person serve the portions and the other gets to choose first
Works especially well with cake. ..not much chance of one being bigger than the other!

I don't really understand the question. Are you sharing wine? 😮

This thread has made me realise that when dh and I both have wine, rare for me to have it, he always has more than me.

Just have one bottle each.

What saucey Jack said. I'd be on my first and find the bottle empty. Rule is either own bottles or no filling until I'm ready and equal measures.

What a meanie

My poor dh has no idea! Tbf it was him that smashed the last remaining matching glass and he knows i prefer my yin(tis for medical reasons i promise i spill from one but not the other) Guess which glass is mine?

Apologies for the dodgy monkey, i cleared the kitchen 2 hours ago of dc shit and here we are.

This has gone much better than the unequal measures of food threads, where someone always pops up to say that she's smaller than a man so only ever eats half a spud and a pinch of dust.

Cheers.

That's odd. Just drink how much you want, top up when needed.

You sound like 5year olds counting out crisps or something.

We're on holiday and the cutesy cottage we're in has mismatched glasses. DH keeps pouring himself a full large glass and giving me a thimble-full. I may have to kill him.

Order new glasses from Amazon now. Stick the odd glasses in the recycling. Tell DH to stick his jug up his arse. Drink all the wine yourself.

I'm upset about wine in a plastic jug to go be honest. We drink wine out of tumblers here. I've broken too many wine glasses.

It seems very odd to me. My dh doesn't drink wine but say he did, we would just pour.
We never measure any type of drink (if my wine glass isn't full I wonder what went wrong ).

Weird and childish

Pinkheart - I love your 'happy level'

I have one of those too - spent years training DH to get it right when it's his turn to top up and now he over estimates so as not to disappoint which works for me!

I'd measure but my DH is a greedy fucker when it comes to wine
All our glasses are the same and I watch carefully if he pours

See my problem is, both DH and I do love a bottle glass of wine. So much so that to avoid inadvertent overconsumption we generally make sure to have only the one bottle in.

If we don't measure fairly equally I get to the end of my first glass to find he's necked the rest of the bottle, which doesn't make for a harmonious family life.

Ergo, we do make sure the glasses about equal and wait for each other. We haven't yet resorted to a measuring jug though but BIL does
