I'm not asking as in implying you're an alcoholic, just really don't know. Do you open it up and have a couple glasses then stick it back into the cooler/cellar? Or once you open it, is it now or never like it loses quality after being open and not used quickly.

There's a little over five glasses per bottle. On a weeknight, my wife will have one and I'll have 2-3. So there's a little left usually. The next night I might have a single glass and she'll have none. Or, if I'm cooking, I might use the remaining wine to cook and pop another bottle for dinner

On the weekend, a bottle for dinner is nothing.

Then we might go a week without popping a bottle. Just depends on the mood.

So it's best to drink pretty quickly after you pop it, or would it be cool to sit like 5+ days?

I wasn't implying anything about your personal habits... more just trying to learn about the actual wine rules.

Usually a bottle is empty within 24 hours at my house. Pop Monday, done by Tuesday.

Just a tasty little drinking wine with some spicy Asian noodles:

I remember my first encounter with Bulleit. 2006, July or August...I spent the day at the Saratoga track with a few friends. Lost a lot of money but I also got to meet Marylou Whitney Vanderbilt and David Cassidy (literally walked intoo him as I was about to place a bet!!). We stopped at a nice restaurant in downtown and I asked if they had any Knob Creek..."we ran out earlier, but the bartender recommends Bulleit." So I ordered it, and I was sold. Four or so tumblers later and I was REALLY sold!

Right now, Evan Williams Black Label and diet Coke. I need a break from straight bourbonm.

More like what am I not drinking right now

I burned through about 6 MGD, 2 "candy canes" (50/50 peppermint schnapps and hot damn), a couple kamikazee's, and a bunch of tea and brandies.

I wasn't really palnning on drinking tonight, but I had my work done and one of my housemates was mixing so I just started drinking what he handed to me.

mmmm. . . and a good night it was

Sorry, sorry, busy night. I'll be sipping this over the next few days:

It's a little young, but I have 7 of them and plan to drink one every five years...for the next 35 years

Some odd tasting juice called multifruit juice with oranges, apples, passion fruits and other things...

Wow, Piobaire, you're killing me with the Caymus. That's one of my favorites.

Tonight I'm just polishing off what's in the fridge: Coors Light. Not my favorite, by far, but I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. I'd never drank much Coors before.

Just got a job offer yesterday, so hopefully I can start back on the good bourbon and rich red wines soon.

That's my go-to "I'm a poor college kid with no money and just want to drink" beer.

No, Coors Light is more like a "I'm a poor college kid who just got my $7/hr paycheck today." The poor kid with no money drinks Milwaukee's Best Light, Natty Light, or Schlitz. At least those were what I drank in college when I had no money nyway.

I think that Rolling Rock fills that bill much, much better. There's a reason it was a cult beer for a long time before it went mass. Although not a challenging beer, it has a pleasantly distinctive taste.
