I want to make sure I'm reading the policy correct. Both my husband and I can bring two bottles of wine on board. It is per guest not per state room?
I'm not a big wine person, I have an occasional glass with a meal, so I was curious as to how long (on avg) a 750ml bottle lasts? Is that an amount that can typically be drank in an evening by a single wine drinker? I usually prefer beers so don't really have a feel for this.
There are approximately 5-6 glasses of wine in a 750ml bottle. While a single wine drinker could drink an entire bottle in one evening, I wouldn't recommend it.
There is nothing quite like a red wine hangover. Trust me, it’s something to be avoided.There are approximately 5-6 glasses of wine in a 750ml bottle. While a single wine drinker could drink an entire bottle in one evening, I wouldn't recommend it.
So a single bottle basically equals a 6 pack of beer? If that's the case I'm sure many cruisers polish that off in an evening.

That’s interesting. The alcohol content of most table wines is typically in the 11-14% ABV (alcohol by volume) range while most quality beers are in the 4.5-7% ABV range. A 750 ml bottle of wine yields about five 5-ounce restaurant pours. Thus a single serving of wine and a single 12-ounce serving of beer have approximately the same amount of alcohol (as does a 1.5 ounce shot of 80 proof hard liquor since 80 proof = 40% ABV): 0.55 - 0.7 ounce of “pure” alcohol, varying more or less depending on the actual alcohol content of the beverage (so YMMV). Perhaps the next day aftereffect of drinking a full bottle of wine compared to drinking six 12-ounce beers is a consequence of the other flavornoids and esters in the wine rather than just the alcohol, since these are not all that different. Some people say they notice the aftereffects from drinking “brown” liquors like whiskey or cognac more than the aftereffects of drinking “white” liquors like vodka or gin, even though they might consume the same number of drinks of about the same alcohol content over the course of an evening.The alcohol content is so much higher in wine that, while I can drink 6 beers over the course of an evening and still be able to function the next day, I can't say the same for wine.
The red wine hangover effect has been documented: http://www.businessinsider.com/red-wine-worst-hangovers-2016-8. It’s those byproducts of fermentation that bring so much character to wine.So you're right - the actual alcohol content is the roughly the same, based on a serving. But I think the issue here is concentration, which would be the same reason you feel more "wired" after a shot of espresso vs a 12oz coffee, despite the drip coffee (usually) having more caffeine overall. So it's possible that the volume of liquid (2.1L of beer vs 750mL of wine) consumed with the alcohol helps to mitigate the effects? I don't know. It's too early (with the time change) on a Sunday for me to google this.
Also, fwiw, I can say from empirical study that whiskey hangovers and vodka hangovers feel about the same. Not recommended in either case.
One bottle if you actually fill a standard glass is about 3 glasses. 250 ml and for those who drink at home a standard serving. Drinking wine at a restaurant is a lot less under 200 ml per. I hate ordering wine whe out as I feel like I sm paying more for less . Many people can finish a bottle in one evening when then focus is wine drinking. But with a meal a bottle is more a challenge and unless you are doing a french style 4 hr meal not recommended.There are approximately 5-6 glasses of wine in a 750ml bottle.

To get to the question that trignd esters in the wine rather than just the alcohol, since these are not all that different. Some people say they notice the aftereffects from drinking “brown” liquors like whiskey gered the discussion: DW doesn’t drink. I find that a half-bottle of wine or one of the cruise line mugs of beer (about 21 ounces) is just right for dinner. If I purchase a bottle of wine, I drink about half and have the assistant server recork it and store it for the following evening. Another alternative is to order wine by the glass. I sometimes do this if I want a white wine with my appetizer and a red wine with my entree.
