Order by the glass when tastes diverge, courses call for different styles or one drink is enough. The bill alone cannot answer the question: you need the pour size, the bottle price and a realistic idea of what your table will drink.</p> <h2 id="do-the-useful-calculation">Do the useful calculation</h2> <p>Take a hypothetical list with a 150 ml glass at £10 and the same 750 ml wine at £42. Five glasses equal one bottle by volume and would cost £50, so the bottle saves £8 <strong>if you want all five pours</strong>. Three glasses cost £30. Buying a bottle then costs £12 more and leaves wine you may not want. This is an example, not a claim about restaurant prices.</p>
