The Unwritten Rules of Sharing a Bottle of Wine🍷

Drinking wine with friends is all about fun, but let’s be honest—there are some unspoken rules that every wine lover just knows 🍇✨

If you follow these, congrats! You’re officially a great person to share a bottle with.

1️⃣ The “Fair Pour” Rule

When pouring for a group, eyeball equal amounts—no one likes the person who gives themselves a full glass while leaving others with a sip. (Unless you’re the host, then maybe… just maybe.)

2️⃣ The Last Pour Dilemma

There’s one last sip in the bottle—do you take it?

Nope!

The polite move is to offer it to the group first. If no one claims it?

Then it’s yours by right!

3️⃣ Sip, Don’t Guzzle

Wine is for savoring, not chugging.

If you finish your glass in record time while everyone else is still swirling and sniffing, expect some side-eye glances.

4️⃣ No Judgment on Preferences

Love ice in your wine?

Prefer sweet over dry?

Mix red with soda?

Cool.

Real wine friends never judge—they just pour and enjoy.

5️⃣ If You Brought It, Share It

If you bring a bottle, it’s for the group, not just you.

(Yes, even if it’s your favorite vintage that you low-key don’t want to share.)

6️⃣ Don’t Be a Bottle Hog

Just because the bottle is within arm’s reach doesn’t mean it belongs to you. Pass it around, friend!

Sharing is caring.

7️⃣ Always Say “Cheers”

Before the first sip, a toast is a must—even if it’s just a quick “cheers” with eye contact.

Bonus points if you come up with a funny or heartfelt toast!
