Wine bottle petition (lighthearted )

Thinking of setting off a petition as I've decided that 1 70cl bottle of wine is too little and a 1 litre bottle would be more satisfactory.AIBU to consider this?

My local supermarket had a special on 1l bottles of gin during the week. Much better than the usual 700ml. I'll join an all alcohol petition

I love Sauvingon blanc though and 70cl just doesn't cut it :(

Could you invest in a barrel?

RJnomore1 · 04/08/2018 23:14

I like the sound of this.

That's cos I'm on my last glass.

ParadiseLaundry · 04/08/2018 23:17

75cl is a measly amount. You want a bit more but don't want to open a second bottle because you know you'll finish it .

Signed.

RJnomore1 · 04/08/2018 23:32

I don't have a second bottle unless I switch to red. Which wouldn't end well.

GuiltyPleasure · 04/08/2018 23:34

@QueenOfMyWorld YANBU. It's a very sensible idea!
@ParadiseLaundry, I absolutely agree. I was going to post the same thoughts

Samcro · 04/08/2018 23:38

70cl is always too small.
I don't drink wine, but whisky should always be a litre

Now that is a Change.org petition I'd share on Facebook.

BreconBeBuggered · 04/08/2018 23:43

I normally only have one bottle a week, split between Friday and Saturday. This measure would improve my weekends considerably.

QueenOfMyWorld · 05/08/2018 09:09

A a bottle and a glass is about right for me,I rarely open a second bottle though because that would get messy WineConfused

This is where boxes come into their own. You don't know how much you're drinking, but there's always more!

PanPanPanPing · 05/08/2018 09:17

I think M&S do litre bottles of wine, but, unfortunately, I don't think there's an awful lot of choice.

flumpybear · 05/08/2018 09:36

Yep I'm in! I often drink a bottle and another glass or two .... Shock

My solution to this serious problem is to buy 2 bottles. But then I'm a greedy bastard and don't stop after the first glass from the 2nd bottle. I drink both then die for about 2 days.
Can we start a petition to raise this at parliament?

M&S do one!! It’s not bad at all

QueenOfMyWorld · 05/08/2018 10:40

My preferred tipple is Villa Maria Sauvingon Blanc,I'd highly recommend 😊👌

Absolutely agree! @eternalopt did the box thing once, never again! The resulting hangover nearly ended me!!
