Last week, I googled "How many ounces of wine are in a glass?" The answer was pretty much universal - about 5 oz. Doing the math - a 750 ml bottle contains about 25.2 oz. So - there are 5 glasses of wine in a bottle. Medically speaking.
I say medically because most of what I read when it comes to wine and health is that, on average, 2 glasses of red wine a day for men and 1 for women, seem to have - in some cases - significant health benefits. The key for me is coming up with what that really means....
I mean, have you seen those birthday cards with a picture of a woman drinking one glass of wine... and the glass is about the size of a gallon milk jug? I've also been in restaurants where wine ordered by the glass is poured out in about 7 oz increments. Doing the medical math, this would equate to one glass per day and not two.
Here's my dilemma... with 5 glasses per bottle... and 2 glasses per day.... at the end of the 2nd day, there's going to be roughly one glass - 5 oz - remaining. Do I save it for tomorrow, when I open another bottle to glean a mere 5 oz off the top for my 2nd daily glass? Heck, the bottle's been opened now for over 24 hours assuming that I opened it last night when I had my first 2 glasses.... (the likely case)....
Well, assuredly - I will probably have 3 glasses tonight - two with dinner and one more a couple of hours later... or I'll just drink 'em all with dinner....
Wait a minute... who needs dinner?!!!!
