Reply to comment by saul_weinstien in bars with cheap wine? by penguinchange

Oh yeah. Actually knowing how to run a bar program is tripling down on "bullshit".

Try this: traditional service standards and wine production assume a 4 way split on a bottle of wine. Split/piccolo bottles, considered a single serving. Are 187ml/6.3oz.

The most charitable read on 5oz is that it's based on US medical advice which places it at 5oz based on a "standard drink" containing 14 grams of pure alcohol. And assuming a 12% average ABV. Which isn't a great way to track this shit. The EU equivalent standard is 120ml, roughly 4oz.

None of this is bullshit. It's shit you should know if you have any clue what you're doing.

Lol, ok chief. My CV says otherwise. I'd share it with you but I don't feel like doxxing myself this morning. A glass of wine is 5oz. It's not really a debate. Is there also debate over 1.5oz being a shot? Anyway, I'm done with this. Cheers!

Since when is "a glass" a unit of measure?

Do you track how tall you are in sheets of paper?

A5 or US Letter?

Also YES. There is debate/variability in the volume of a shot as a fixed measure.

This is mostly about the glassware but useful for the chart on varied volumes of the measurement:

Common practice in the us assumes 1.5oz. Most of Europe and several US states consider it to be 1oz.
