I’ve always found it easier to visualize drink quantities relative to a standard bottle, 750ml for most wine and spirits.
So that 250ml serving is 1/3 of a bottle per glass.
- samstave 8y agoYep - its pretty commonly accepted that a bottle of wine is ~3 glasses.
- ancientworldnow 8y agoNo it's not? A typical bottle should be about 5 glasses + or - one depending on how you pour.
- virgilp 8y agoThis. I pour 5-6 glasses of wine from a bottle, and I don't feel that they're "small" in any way. Putting a third of a bottle at once in the glass is far too much - at that quantity, swirling the wine becomes nearly impossible. And anyway, holding a wine glass should be effortless, you should be able to talk & do mild gestures with the glass in your hand.
- DanBC 8y ago250ml isn't some unusual serving size. It's a standard "large" when eating out in the UK. https://www.askitalian.co.uk/menu/menu/drinks/ https://www.askitalian.co.uk/menu/menu/drinks/ https://www.jamieoliver.com/italian/restaurants/birmingham/menu/drinks/ https://www.jamieoliver.com/italian/restaurants/birmingham/m... https://www.nandos.co.uk/food/menu https://www.nandos.co.uk/food/menu https://www.zizzi.co.uk/drinks#white https://www.zizzi.co.uk/drinks#white etc etc. And these large glasses are used in many homes. I have no problem believing that people are drinking glasses of wine this big, mostly because I see them do it.
