I had three glasses of wine between 7-9pm Sunday night. Test will be tomorrow (tuesday). Will I pass an ETG test?

The elimination time for EtG clearance after 3-glasses* of wine has been timed between 32-40 hours. Tox News (http://www.aacc.org/SiteCollectionDocuments/Publications/cftn/CFTn_Dec_2006.pdf) Other tests involving nearly equivalent amounts of alcohol, have found slightly shorter detection periods, around 26 hours.

No one can predict with certainty whether you will pass an EtG test, but the above should provide some guidance. Just figure the time between your last drink and the time of the test to compare.
*1 glass of wine is defined as 5 oz of 10% alcohol
