It's not unusual for two people to share a bottle of wine, but when you have a third guest one bottle might not be enough anymore.

Let's say we're having a wine party where every guest drinks the same amount of wine. Now suppose as a rule that for any wine party we need exactly one less bottles of wine than the number of guests. Notice that for larger and larger numbers of guests, the amount of wine per guest approaches one bottle (750 ml). In fact, there is some finite number of guests where the amount of wine each person gets is, in human terms, imperceptibly different than a full bottle of wine.

But how can that be when we KNOW we bought exactly one less bottle than the number of guests at our party?

Now take this a step further. What if we buy two less bottles than the number of guests? Three less? It seems like for any finite number of bottles less than the number of guests at your party, there is some number of guests you can invite where each one gets arbitrarily close to 750 ml.

It's just another way of explaining fractional relationships. It's really not that hard to figure out. Since your rule of thumb wasn't precisely exact to begin with the extra wine was always there it's just that it was small enough that you would in a casual social situation top off one person's glass to kill the bottle.

We will never be as bad. Wine culture is a culture that prides itself on smelling its own ass and taking about how unique the aroma is. Whiskey culture stretches from bourbon to scotch and has all kinds of people participating in it. Get fuckt and wait til you’re old enough to buy a bottle yourself, then maybe I’ll listen to your opinion. Until then keep enjoying the wine coolers your older brother buys for you.

Wine can be as high or low culture as you like. Personally I don't go for that high class shit, it's all about the product for me. It helps I get my wine for free as I'm in the industry.

Most boxed wine is acceptable after it has been decanted. Cheap as fuck too.

The more expensive wines do have their qualities but as a question of value, they aren't worthwhile IMO. It's more a question of status when you're in a group setting.

Blind tastings frequently show that wine journalists and the like can't tell the difference either.

Drink what you like.
