250ml is a typical carafe size. Carafes are a more common way to serve wine in Europe, compared to ordering two separate glasses.
- r00fus 9y agoCarafes are usually house wine though. Hard to get carafe sizing for a higher end wine.
- abalone 9y agoEven if true, this does not support the claim that Britains consume significantly more wine than in 1700. (Which may be true but it’s not supported.) If anything it would suggest that higher end wine is sold by the glass or bottle... again the source does not claim otherwise.
