I wonder if that's still true?
I'd have to say yes, actually. I can't recall ever drinking more than half a bottle by myself at one time.

Unless you count total volume at a tasting, in which case I've had the equivalent of about 2 bottles over the course of 2 sessions in one day before. We've held a couple of 30+ bottle tastings since this thread in 2010. I don't fully consume every glass at a tasting, but I bet I've come close to 2 full bottles at one of the large horizontals.

I bet a few people here could disprove that sentence, myself included ;)
