The law (via regulations) stipulates what sizes can be sold. As an example, this[1] from 2011:
> The centuries-old cry of "fancy a pint?" may soon become "fancy a schooner?" under plans to relax the strict rules dictating drink sizes.
> Current regulations mean draught beer must be sold in pints (equivalent to 568ml), halves (284ml) or the little-known "thirds", and wine in measures of 250ml, 175ml or 125ml

- AmericanChopper 3y agoWhatever the regulations about portion sizes are, they’re independent from the measurement units used. The government is allowed to regulate portion sizes of 568ml, 284ml and 189ml. Also, is it really illegal to serve a 150ml glass of wine in the UK? That’s insane… A 750ml bottle of wine is supposed to have 5 glasses in it, not 4.28
