This references the study showing that people eat more when using larger plates, but I think wine drinking is the one instances where those results aren't easily transferrable.
Wine glasses today are usually filled to about 1/4, where (judging by the painting in the article, and my guess) glasses 1/7th the size of today's were filled to the rim.
- jgibson 9y agoI wonder how much of the liquid/volume ratio is just due to people trying to protect their white carpet...
- justinjlynn 9y agowhat do you mean? that'd be an amusing correlation to show, actually, but the study would be torturous.
- fosco 9y agosome anecdata - I spilled an oversized glass of red wine our carpet ina previous house and escalated my wife's 'need' for wooden floors by unknown to immediate. :-) on a side note we were much happier with the wooden floor

- berberous 9y agoYou don't know many drunks, I guess. Lots of people fill the glass much more than they are supposed to.
- toomanybeersies 9y agoExactly. The photos in the article even show this. The modern glasses shown in the article clearly aren't filled with 7x1700-size servings each, otherwise they'd be drinking literally thimbles worth of wine in the 1700's. Restaurants do tend to pour only part of a glass, usually 100-175 mL, depending on location, quality of wine, and country. However, I've seen plenty of people in a home environment pour to the top, or at least 2/3 of the glass, they're usually counting their drinks by the bottle though, rather than the glass.
