Beer/wine weight?

Does anyone know how much a full 12 oz bottle of beer and/or a 750 ml bottle of wine weigh? I am flying soon and would like to avoid reshuffling my checked baggage at the desk, but I am without a scale. I realize it will vary some, but I'm just looking for a rough estimate. Thanks.

Nevermind. Per usual, despite searching online for this information for 2 days prior to posting, 30 seconds after posting I found a place that listed shipping weight. 2 lbs per bottle of beer and 4 lbs per bottle of wine is the answer.

Darn, and I was just about to help out. I was going to weigh myself then drink two bottles of beer then weigh myself again holding the empty bottles. I have no scientific proof, but logic tells me that since I only have a bathroom type scale it would have been more accurate if I drank the beer first. Right

Oh, I know it's only 6:30 am, but if Dmnkly can drink 20-teaspoons of sugar for the sake of LTH science, I can drink a couple of bottles of early morning brewski. Wine weight would have had to wait until lunch.

Enjoy,

Thanks anyway. I'm actually bringing a case of beer back, so if you wanted to be really accurate...

I had the digital kitchen scale out while reading this (measuring cream cheese from a CostCo bucket to make some dog treats) and a merlot and chardonnay each weighed about 2lb 11oz while a riesling was almost 3lbs.

A good rule of thumb is 40lbs. per case of 24 x 12oz beers or 10lbs per 6-pack.
