How Many Glasses of Wine in a Bottle?
- Last Updated - 3/10/23
How many glasses of wine in a bottle depends on the size of the bottle. And also how much wine is poured in the glass. So, for a standard 750mL bottle (25.4 ounces) of wine typically contains about five (5) 5-ounce glasses of wine. Or six (6) 4-ounce glasses per bottle.
Also it’s important to note that serving sizes can vary depending on personal preference and occasion. Additionally, fortified wines like port or sherry, are served in smaller quantities due to their higher alcohol content.

How Much Wine in a Glass?
Wine serving sizes can range from 2 ounces to 6 ounces, depending on how generous the pour is. A standard serving size for a glass of wine is 5 ounces.
Anything above six (6) ounces in a glass is a large pour and it’s not recommended. Because you need room in the glass to allow for the wine to swirl around and aerate. Additionally, pouring the proper amount of wine into your glassware will help to maximize its ability in holding the aromas within the glass. So that you may enjoy an even better tasting experience.
And two (2) ounce pours are typically for wine tasting at the winery or wine flights at your local restaurant/bar or home. And here are some wine flight suggestions, for a wine tasting at home.
Different Wine Pours
Depending on the type of wine, different glasses are used for proper enjoyment. For example, a red Bordeaux or Cabernet Sauvignon should be served in either a larger bowl shaped Burgundy glass or Bordeaux glass with a 5-6 ounces pour.
While a white Sauvignon Blanc should be served in a white wine/Universal glass with a 4 to 5 ounce pour. Also, white wines are best served at a cooler temperature. So pouring less of it will prevent the wine from warming up too quickly.
Furthermore, the type of wine being served will determine the size of the glass. Because some wines benefit from size of glass to allow for proper aeration and collection of aromas.
Lastly, fortified wines or dessert wines typically have smaller pours of 2-3 ounces. As they are usually higher in alcohol content and can be enjoyed in smaller quantities.
What Are the Different Sizes of Wine Bottles? And How Many Glasses in Each Bottle?
There are many different sizes of wine bottles, ranging from small individual serving sizes to larger sizes for special occasions. The most common sizes of wine bottles and the approximate number of glasses in each are:
- Split or Piccolo (187.5ml): This small size is equal to about a quarter of a standard 750ml bottle and typically contains about 1.5 glasses of wine.
- Half Bottle or Demi (375ml): This size is half the size of a standard 750ml bottle and typically contains about 3 glasses of wine.
- Standard or Regular Bottle (750ml): This is the most common size of wine bottle and typically contains about 5 glasses of wine.
- Magnum (1.5L): This size is equivalent to two standard bottles and typically contains about 10 glasses of wine.
- Double Magnum (3L): This size is equivalent to four standard bottles and typically contains about 20 glasses of wine.
- Jeroboam (4.5L): This size is equivalent to six standard bottles and typically contains about 30 glasses of wine.
- Methuselah or Imperial (6L): This size is equivalent to eight standard bottles and typically contains about 40 glasses of wine.
- Salmanazar (9L): This size is equivalent to twelve standard bottles and typically contains about 60 glasses of wine.
How Many Glasses of Wine to Get Drunk?
It’s also important to drink wine responsibly and in moderation. Getting drunk depends on how much you weigh, how much food was consumed prior, how strong the wine is and how fast you are drinking it.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines moderate drinking as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. Using a standard drink size of 5 ounces of wine, being equivalent to one glass.
