My gf is given wine all the time...by her office, friends, and even her parents BUT SHE DOES NOT DRINK IT!?!
......should I just go and crack open a bottle or two?
Answers: So, given that her father has told her, that this is not 'wine that you keep, and that it must be drunk',
......should I just go and crack open a bottle or two?
Yup, and pour me a glass. I'll bring the Brie.
Yeah, go on, I'll help!!
Ask her for permission first, since these are her gifts and not yours.
She is smart............
If she doesn't drink wine why doesn't she just tell people that.
Sure thing. Or she can always regift.
I would. And since she doesn't drink it, maybe you can make some spaghetti or chili. Some recipe that requires wine in the ingredients.
Christmas is right around the corner- re-gift!
yes....or three
Not unless it's okay with her. She could probably sell them on Ebay, or give them as gifts herself.
Unless you have a spacious wine cellar, then yes I'd crack open a bottle or two... why not invite the friends and colleagues around to help you get rid of a few bottles.... sure they wouldnt mind
I wonder why her father said that, would it be he's hinting that she should re-gift all her wine gifts to him? LOL
And oh yes, in case that paternal statement is some sort of important tradition, you really should drink some, so as to not offend... :)
I would ask her why she is not drinking it. Does she not drink, or is she saving it for a special occasion? If it is the later, then don't touch it. If she doesn't drink, then ask if you can have it! I f she doesn't drink or like wine, then I'm sure she will have no problem sharing it with you and will be happy that someone is enjoying it!
If she drink alcohol at all then maybe she will change her mind.
But it seems that as she either got these bottles as presents or work bonuses then you should at least ask her if you can crack open a bottle!
I am in the same posish as your gf - I don't like wine at all, but I get quite a bit for gifts. I wait until I have people in my house who do like wine, and then I open it up for them. One night, since I had a bunch of different ones, I had a little wine tasting party for my friends. Otherwise, I bring it to parties or dinner when I am invited as a host gift - it may sound like re-gifting, but typically, the host is supposed to open the bottle when people are there to serve it (if it goes with what is being served for dinner). In the same line as that, if your gf is given wine at her house and it is appropriate, she should open it and offer the giver a glass. She can pour a small glass for herself - just a few sips. When she dissappears into the kitchen to get something, she can pour it out if she wants. Its just something that is nice to do.
If YOU like wine, go ahead and ask her if she minds - chances are she won't.
Good luck!!!
need any help
Noooo, just send it to me!!
She could alway cook with it... Bless the french for coming up with that idea.
nope ...good 4 her!!!!!
Yep, help yourself.
Or, she can re-gift them.
I've got the perfect excuss use it to make a beef dish and there your in
sure, Or put labels on them from who gave it to her and give them out for gifts to other people.
Go buy your own or ask her for some. You don't just go and take peoples stuff even if you are in a relationship. That's just rude!
Just ensure that your girlfriend has the drink of her choice by her side so that there are no glaring contests (one sided probably as you will be too gassed to care).
Then whip crack away
