One glass of wine with breakfast? Does she drink all day or is that the only time she drinks? If that is the only glass she has I would find it unusual but not alarming. Would you worry if she had one glass of wine with dinner every night? I wouldn’t. ---

What hours does she work? I see no problem with it if she works in the afternoon or evening. ---

My Portuguese father-in-law to be has wine with breakfast all the time. Really, what is the difference between a glass of wine with brekky or a glass with dinner? A lot of people have such set notions about what constitutes “breakfast food” and “dinner food” and IMHO are often too rigid about allowing crossover. I say, join 'er! I do think it’s a problem that she can’t relax without alcohol, but I think _when_ she drinks it isn’t really a problem. ---

Well, some people drink coffee in the morning because otherwise they are too tire to pay attention. Drinking to relax isn’t always the best idea, but one glass of wine a day is hardly drinking to excess. ---

Yes Lieu I was wondering that too. What wine goes best with eggs and grits? Mad Dog 20-20 or Thunderbird. ---

I very often have a beer or glass of wine with my dinner at breakfast time…I do work nights though so maybe its not too weird. I think if she has one glass a day its fine, in fact its probabley healthy (one glass of wine daily is recomended by a lot of doctors) its when she starts the day with half a litre of vodka that you gotta worry! ---

A glass of wine a day is supposed to be healthy I’ve heard. It would only be a problem with me if it impaired her judgement while driving or if it affected her job if she worked mornings. FTR I really enjoy wine and have had one on occasion in the mornings. I make sure to brush my teeth before I go to work. How big is this “glass”? It’s not one of those gallon sized brandy snifters is it? ---

Also FTR: Blush goes with eggs & omlettes. White goes with French toast and pancakes. A heady merlot goes with cold, leftover pizza. This IS the Straight Dope after all. ---

Sounds good, but I DON’T recommend the Merlot/Pizza combination. Trust me. ---

How about pinot grigio or pinot noir with leftover pizza? (For that matter, how about those wines with fresh hot pizza?) ---

The late great [Nicolas Freeling](http://www.twbookmark.com/authors/82/478/), author of _Kitchen Book_ and _Cook Book_, advocated a glass of good white burgundy in the morning. ---
