Once it's down to 1/3 or less, may be time to have some friends over, and enjoy the remainder! So, try to finish up one bottle before opening another, or don't have too many different bottles open at one time.

Just food for thought for anyone new to this slope!!
Thanks for the heads up. At this time, I've been buying small bottles that I can finish in a week or two until I figure out what direction my taste are going to take me.
