Greg Mulholland, a Liberal Democrat MP has called for pubs to introduce
smaller wine glasses.
He says that many licensed premises have stopped selling wine in
smaller 125ml glasses and now only serve it in 175ml and 250ml glasses.
His view is that these larger glasses can lead to people drinking more
than they want to and more than is safe if they are driving. He plans
to introduce a sale of wine bill that will force all licensed premises
to offer the standard 125ml measures alongside the bigger glasses. One
of these large glasses contains twice as much wine as a small glass or
around a third of a bottle.
