Not sure if you are asking how long before your BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) go back to zero or to you getting sober, in this case meaning how long before you're safe to drive and take a Breathalyzer and pass. .08 is legally under the influence to drive a motor vehicle in every state in the U.S. . If this is your question, then you would want to dedicate 2 hours for each drink consumed, so 6 hours in your case, assuming that each glass had 5 oz. of wine (the average served at most establishments) and also to be considered as one drink as far as BAC are concerned.

If your are asking how long does it stay in your system as far as long term, 2 days is considered enough to pass a urine test. I have heard of some urine test that can detect ethanol up to 80 hours after last ingestion, but these test are rarely used as they are expensive and only used for certain jobs . So 80 hours I would assume is how long it actually lingers in the body, but 6 hours to get sober. Hope this helps.

I am not a health care professional. I am only giving you facts based on what I learned from classes I took after receiving a DUI.
