How long does a bottle last?

[Brian_G_r_a_f_s_t_r_o_m]

On average, how long does it take you to drink a bottle of wine?

• A couple/few hours
• 1 day
• 2 days
• 3 days
• 4 days - 1 week

Doesn’t matter if it’s only you, you and another person … whether you typically open more than one bottle at a time … whatever. Simply put, once a bottle is opened, how long before it’s gone?

I suppose the only qualification I put on this question is that the bottle be a 750mL.

Sometimes I don’t even take it out of the brown paper bag.

If we’re lucky a bottle lasts through a course for the two of us.

[Richard_T_r_i_m_p_i]

All of the above, including 1+ weeks if it’s corked/flawed cooking wine.

A bottle opened in our house is almost always consumed that night unless I purposefully set it aside because I think it needs extended air time. (or it’s that bottle that you open after 1 or 2 others and you’re already too drunk to finish )

Never longer than probably 48 hours though, unless it’s port.

If the wine has a low FU Factor but is smooth, it only lasts me about five minutes.

John, so you unscrew the cap and slug back?

I would call it more of a “pull.”

Anywhere between 15 minutes and three days, depending on the bottle. Usually closer to the shorter end of that scale, though.

I would call that a “swallow…”

Like pulling the cork out with your teeth?

Most of T-Bone’s friends don’t have teeth!

Drunk with friends, probably less than an hour.
Drunk with my wife, through dinner.
Drunk with unappreciative audience, two days.
Sherry or Madeira, I always have a bottle open, usually lasts about a week.
Bland or otherwise uninspiring wine, 3-4 days, than into the cooking jug.
Cooking wine, until used or thrown away.

Well played, but I was accounting for times when I have a bottle with a group.

For some reason Champagne goes down a lot faster than any other wine.

[Brian_R_Bachman]

Depends on how much I like it…

[jordan_whitehead]

99% of the time gone that night. Even if the wife goes to sleep early, i get the rest all to myself. The bottle still doesn’t make it to the morning.

I didn’t know you drank wine, I thought you only sold it.

So Saxon, looks like the bottle only lasted 5 minutes for you…

Time for bourbon. Man up.
