How many glasses in a bottle of wine?
A standard 75cl bottle of wine can serve about 5 to 6 glasses of wine. Here are some details:
The standard size of a glass of wine is usually 12cl. However, when dining with friends or family, hosts often serve more generous glasses of 15cl. In this case, a 75cl bottle only fills 5 glasses instead of 6.
In a professional setting such as a restaurant, servers fill 12.5cl (125ml) glasses to avoid waste and serve 6 glasses per bottle.
So in summary, we can consider that a 75cl bottle of wine allows you to serve between 5 and 6 glasses of wine, depending on the generosity of the service. To calculate the quantities to plan for at an event, you must also take into account guests who do not drink alcohol and choose the right bottle size .
If you choose to open a half 37.5cl bottle of wine you will be able to serve approximately 3 glasses of wine.
With a half bottle of 37.5cl, we can therefore serve 3 glasses of 12cl.
In a more convivial setting such as a meal with friends, the glasses served can be a little more generous, around 15cl. In this case, half a bottle will only serve 2 large glasses.
To conclude, a half-bottle of wine of 37.5cl allows to serve between 2 and 3 glasses, depending on the generosity of the service. It is a practical format for an aperitif or a light meal for 2 people.
