to think not many people do this in real life?

Drink wine in the bath that is? Watching a film and the main character just had a glass of red wine whilst having a bath.

I'm 50 and I think I gave it a go once maybe 20 years ago, decided that the combo of alcohol and a hot bath was terrible and have never done it since.

YANBU: of course no one does this other than in films, what a terrible idea

YABU: wine in the bath is one of the main joys in life, you're missing out you pleb

Not interested in a bath let alone all the accompanying rubbish.

As a pp said, why lie in a hard bath when you can be cozy and comfy in bed.

Oh no! I even have a special bath tray that holds a glass of wine, a book and a candle! (Best present ever!)

Love it - I’ll run in some more hot water just to extend the pleasure.

Like a wine in the bath, also a whisky with ice occasionally.

Once a week wine in the bath while watching masterchef: the professionals, obvs.

I can't as my bath is really slopey and quite shallow so if you're relaxing and leaning back to be properly in the water, it would be a terrible angle for drinking.
Accidentally tipping wine on my face or sipping it through a straw feels like it would ruin the vibe.

If you want to be really cosy, get the water the temp you want then cover yourself with a towel. It keeps the water warm!

I dunno, it usually smells of farts in the bathroom so that would put me off the wine

My mum loves a glass of wine or a G&T in the bath so much that my brother bought her a special bath tray thing that has a little circular space in it to stand a glass and a thing to prop up a book.

I don’t regularly have a glass of wine in the bath but it’s certainly something I’ve done on occasion. It’s particularly enjoyable in a nice hotel.

@Fullofxmascbeer because it heats up the weary bones 🦴

I’ve got one of those bath trays, it has a little slot for a wineglass but I don’t drink wine in the bath, I don’t really drink it at all!
My bath is very close to the toilet and for me the bathroom is not a place for food.
on my bath tray I usually put my phone for Netflix or a book, facemask and facecloth, electric cigarette and a bottle of water in case I overheat 😂
And I have a nap most bath times. Decadence.

Not sure the mould in my bathroom quite lends itself to the glass of wine thing tbh

The idea makes me shudder - combination of water, slippery hard surfaces, naked skin and easily broken/fragile glass is v offputting to a clumsy person like me.

Go in warmish and run the hot taps once your in

I do this at least once a week.

Not wine but I don't mind a couple of bottles of beer in the bath. Proper scalding hot water, ice cold beers, top notch.

Tried it and hated it. The wine gets way too warm. Even big red wines should be served slightly below room temperature (18 degrees max), and too warm wine is one of my biggest pet peeves!

Or just get into bed surely?

Ah don't mind me. I can't see the appeal of baths. I can't wash my hair in the bath and I don't like strands of hair all over my body. I don't like sitting in water that is rapidly going tepid. I don't like sitting in water just waiting.....and waiting.... to get out.

I remember staying in a very naice hotel when I was pregnant with DC1. DH (kindly) booked a massage and for some unknown reason it was followed by a seaweed bath. I got into the bath, sat there for two minutes wondering WTF I was supposed to do and awkwardly eased myself out of the steep bath, wrapped myself in a towel and sat on a chair until I heard the knock on the door asking me was I ready to come out. I quickly splashed some water around with my hand and called out I was ready.

I have a few out of date 'spa treatment' days lying in an unused drawer.

Now give me an Indian head massage and I will happily relax for hours!!!!

😆😆😆

😫🤣🤣🤣

Not as classy as wine but I've eaten my main dinner in the bath before and pudding! Always take a cup of tea in the bath too 😂

'Yes it felt a bit forced when I did it. Perhaps my bathroom needed to be more spa like and less play school though.'

😂 I think it's mandatory to have one of those stand alone tubs, with the fancy feet, if partaking in such an activity. Tea or pop works in my play school bathroom only.

Oh no to food in the bath, 🤮 I'm picturing bits falling in.

no I have a cup of tea

I only drink wine with a meal and don’t fancy that while I’m in the bath

I love wine but don’t like baths. I’m a shower girl but wine in the shower just wouldn’t work!!

That makes me want a cig more than a bath tbh.

Its years and years since I smoked yet the memory evoked from reading your post and the feeling of relaxation from inhaling a cig never quite leaves............
