wine o'clock
Evening pour hour
Wine o'clock is the time of day when it's appropriate to start drinking wine—typically late afternoon or early evening.
The phrase plays on clock times, suggesting wine has its own appointed hour: It's been a long day. Is it wine o'clock yet?
Often used humorously to justify or celebrate that first glass.
