This is why I avoid buying beer in growlers. My wife and I just don't drink enough to kill a bottle before it's done. If I have friends over, it goes fast, but that's not really a thing right now.
They do make cans of wine... I know it's a crazy idea, but my friend who likes wine loves the single serving size.
- mark-r 6y agoI thought the 750ml bottle was a single serving size? For a joke, my family got me a 750ml glass a couple of Christmases ago. I have yet to use it.
- cperciva 6y ago750 ml has nothing to do with how much wine people are expected to drink at once; it's an artifact of glass-blowing. A typical medieval glass-blower's lungs allowed them to create bottles of 700-800 ml with a single long breath.
- mark-r 6y agoThat's a very cool piece of useless trivia. Thanks.
- jasone 6y agoIs there something about glass blowing which makes it air-inefficient? My vague recollection from my time as a low brass player in college is that the prof's lung capacity measuring apparatus (yes, really) put most of us in the 3-4L range, with one outlier around 5L. Granted, we were trained for such magnificent feats of blowing hot air, but so too must glass blowers be.
- myrandomcomment 6y agoSounds like something you should aspire to :) I can drink a bottle myself lunch to bed on a weekend, but not every weekend.
- mey 6y agoIn Oregon at least yes. https://www.cannedoregon.com/ https://www.cannedoregon.com/ Pretty sure that isn't the only brand I have seen.
- ogre_codes 6y agoHuh. I didn't realize this was a local/ Oregon thing and had assumed it was country-wide.
- jeromenerf 6y agoBag-in-box style of containers are pretty good regarding oxydation. Up to 6 weeks after opening it says on the label. A bottle is obviously better long term.
- williamdclt 6y agoThere's perfectly good bagged wine in France, but they get pretty bad rep in other countries, it's often terrible wine in these boxes sadly
