Wimbledon tickets tomorrow - alcohol questions!

[PimmsAhoy]

I’ve been invited at short notice and am extremely excited - court 1 ticket tomorrow. Done some googling and looked at FAQs but some of the info out there is contradictory or not detailed enough so can anyone advise please?

I have a bottle of champagne left over from my wedding BUT - does it have to be screw-top; can we take it into the court; can we use disposable wine glasses (not covered beakers)

I realise I should have scoured the crowds more closely to see what people do but if anyone can answer these important alcohol questions definitively, that would be great and I can get on with planning the rest of the day 😁

Yes you can take it and glasses, and drink on the court, https://www.wimbledon.com/enGB/atoz/foodanddrinkfaq.html

I think there is a limit on bottle size. Certainly there were corks popping on no.1 earlier this week.

Thanks @Peonies12 I did see that but wasn’t sure what the “authorised areas” were and if it includes the court. I think though as @LIZS says you hear corks as I’m sure one of the umpires commented on it this week!

It’s very last minute for me so I’m in a bit of a fluster but I suppose how wrong can it go? If I have to neck a bottle on the way in then that is what I will have to do 🤷‍♀️

I can't imagine you would be allowed glass.

One bottle or two cans per person. Plastic glasses absolutely fine. Bad form to pop corks during points or even during games imo, do it before play / end of sets / at the change of ends

enjoy! I went Thursday, it was brilliant

No glasses on showcourts but plastic ok. There is a list of prohibited items too.

Brilliant - thanks all; Champagne and plastic glasses it is then.

Weather forecast is not great but I absolutely can’t wait! Can now get on with working out the rest of the Plan

How lovely for you! I would take the bottle plus a bottle stop, so you can open it before the match but not have to drink it in one go 😁

And probably a sleeve to go around the bottle/cool bag!

@Floboe great reminder, thank you! I do have a stopper specifically for fizzy bottles so will definitely put it in

@PimmsAhoy when we went on centre court they made us pop the cork before entering - we had a fantastic day - enjoy!

Thanks @ChateauProvence - that is helpful to know! I’ve dug out the bottle stopper so we are ON
