And also in the UK, they generally pour your wine glass up to the top (no idea why) whereas in France it's always served with about a 1/4 of the glass.

- raverbashing 9y agoWeird, I haven't been to those places Most places (bars), they fill a standard measure and pour that onto the glass, which fill it up to the aforementioned 1/4th of the glass Or they give you a standard small wine bottle
- Symbiote 9y agoThat depends on the quality of the place. An average pub might choose these glasses with the legal markings at 125, 175 and 250mL, which probably makes the 250mL serving seem quite full. A nicer place will have larger glasses, or serve the smaller amount. http://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=21754&catID=1436&name=Saxon+Tri+Lined+Wine+Glasses+12oz+LCE+at+125%2C+175+%26amp%3B+250ml http://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=21754&catI...
- realusername 9y agoI've mostly been to cheaper places so that would explain it!
- abalone 9y agoIn the U.S. it’s kind of a joke. Bartenders will tease that a typical globe can in fact hold 20oz of wine, almost an entire bottle. You might not think so looking at it. So when you ask for a “half glass”, it’s a joke. But very few would actually pour 20oz. The globe is designed to be filled only partially, to allow aeration.
