to ask how much wine you’d buy in this situation

[Merryoldgoat]

NB - this is a LIGHTHEARTED thread

DH went to do the Christmas food shop today. I told him what I needed for the pudding and said ‘can you get a fair bit of wine as I want a drink tonight, tomorrow and we need for Christmas Day’.

On CD we’re having PIL. So 4 adults. FIL will have one glass of bubbles. MIL, DH and I all drink but not to excess.

I like a drink but don’t drink masses or that but I do like it and DH drinks rarely.

Given this information how much sparkling wine would you buy?

As reminder sparkling wine for:

Me tonight
Me tomorrow
4 adults on CD

Once I’ve had a few answers I’ll divulge how many DH bought.

I'd get go for six to be safe.

My answer would be 'lots'. Is your DH still alive?

I say 6 as well!

Minimum of 6 bottles. I would have probably gone 8 OR 6 bottles and a bottle of nice champagne as a Christmas Day drink.

Minimum 5 so I would probably buy 6.

4 bottles fizz
2 white wine
2 red wine

Assuming the type of wine isn't relevant, I'd probably buy 6-8 bottles, as I don't want to have to run to the supermarket again on 26/27/28

@Nix2020

I’m wondering if you’re my best friend who I had this conversation with and said ‘minimum 6’ without hesitation.

@gobbynorthernbird

He is thriving and I’m drinking Prosecco. But I’m on bottle of how many? That’s the question…

I would’ve asked you to specify how many bottles “a fair bit” is

At least 6 🍾

10 one for you x2 days. One each Christmas Day, then spares, just in case!

I plan half a bottle per person - evens out with those that have one glass and those who go on the lash.
So, two bottles for xmas. One bottle for you over 2 nights.

Three bottles

1 for tonight, 1 for tomorrow, 4 for CD. 2 spare.

I'd go 8- it won't go off 🤷🏼‍♀️

8

Eight

I'd say 6, maybe a bottle of fizz on top.

Yeah probably 6, maybe 8 so I have spare for later in the week

@PotteringAlong

Minimum of 6 bottles. I would have probably gone 8 OR 6 bottles and a bottle of nice champagne as a Christmas Day drink.

I’d have said a minimum of 8. It’s Xmas day and people tend to get carried away.

@Merryoldgoat is someone going to have to go shopping tomorrow?

I'd buy a case of 6 and use any left at new year.

I’d say 12 at least
Plus a few extra

I'd probably get 12 as it's always worth having extra and it will get drunk at some point / you can always take it when you go to someone's house.

As it’s sparkling it needs to be drunk on the day as it were,

So in this house that would be minimum 4 bottles but more likely 6.

But my stomach is a bit 🤢at all that fizz. Give me some red 😄

I LOVE YOU ALL!

Three. He bought THREE bottles of Prosecco.

I’d have got 8 as it will last.

We are not short of money. He is not in ANY WAY tight. He just has a strange blind spot with booze.

I’ll go to coop tomorrow and buy a few more, no biggie.

But it’s like he’s forgotten who he’s married to!
