Half bottles are wine bottles that hold 375 milliliters of liquid, which is half the standard size of a regular wine bottle, typically 750 milliliters. They are often used for tasting events, personal consumption, or when a smaller quantity is desired. This size is convenient for those who want to enjoy a variety of wines without committing to a full bottle. These smaller bottles are also popular for dessert wines and sparkling wines, as they allow for easier sharing and reduce waste. Many wine producers offer their popular labels in half bottles, making it easier for consumers to explore different options without the pressure of finishing a full bottle.
