Guide for the dosage of drinks
The right amount in every glass
When it comes to pouring wine, other alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, people often tend to act on instinct. However, the more generously you fill the glass, the more difficult it becomes not to overflow. There is therefore a standard measure for every type of drink. Here is an overview of the correct dosage for the most common types of drink.

How much water should I put in a glass?
Water is the only natural drink with 0 calories, whether sparkling or still. Some mistakenly believe that sparkling water is more thirst-quenching than still water, a belief based solely on the effect of the gas bubbles dissolved in the water on the taste buds: the bubbles tickle the taste buds and stimulate the taste receptors almost to the point of numbing, giving the palate a lasting sensation of thirst-quenching and freshness. No matter what type of water you prefer, be it still, sparkling, naturally sparkling or slightly effervescent, the right amount to pour into a glass is 200 ml.

How much wine should be poured into a glass?
As a general rule, white and rosé wines should be poured to a maximum of half the glass, while red wines should only be poured to a third of the glass.
The only exceptions are sparkling wine and champagne flutes: they are filled to two thirds.
How many glasses can you fill from one wine bottle?
A regular wine bottle has a capacity of 75 cl or 750 ml and is sufficient for about five to six glasses.
How many ml go into a glass of wine?
Depending on the type of wine and wine glass, the usual amount of wine in restaurants and bars in Germany is 1 deciliter or 2 deciliters, which corresponds to 100 ml and 200 ml respectively. There are also still some regions where wine is poured as a “Schoppen”, which corresponds to around 125 ml to 150 ml.
These quantities may vary in other countries; in Italy, for example, the standard quantity of a wine glass is always 100 ml.
How many bottles of sparkling wine do you need for 20 people?
Taking into account the average amount that a glass is usually filled with, at least 4 bottles are needed for 20 people.
This corresponds to a total quantity of 3 liters of sparkling wine, from which you can make a maximum of 30 glasses.
Simply be a little more generous when pouring or offer a second round of sparkling wine to empty full bottles.

How much juice do you put in a glass?
Fruit juice is a drink that is popular with young and old alike. It is obtained by pressing fruit, separating the juice from the pulp and adding water. It can be fresh or bottled.
If you want to impress your guests with a healthy and energizing breakfast buffet, you can prepare ready-made jugs or drink dispensers with fruit juice. However, if your guests prefer to order from the menu, remember that in this case the right amount of juice is 150-200 ml (15-20 cl), which you should pour into the glass.
How much milk do you pour into a glass?
Would you like to prepare a classic milk foam, perhaps refined with a little cocoa or cinnamon? Or a delicious latte macchiato? In this case, you should know that 200 ml of milk should be added for a simple hot milk foam, while 25-30 ml of espresso should be added for a latte macchiato.
How much grappa should be served in a glass?
To begin with, the grappa should be sniffed in “small doses” with the glass at a distance of 10-15 centimetres from the nose so as not to numb the sense of smell. The secret lies in patience: little by little you will discover the facets of the aromatic bouquet, the most hidden aromas.
The grappa should be tasted in small sips, the liquid in the mouth should be swirled and then swallowed. In your mouth, you will rediscover all the aromas that you have perceived with your nose. To enjoy a good grappa, you should never fill the glass completely, but only up to half the “belly” of the tulip, which corresponds to 4 cl (40 ml).

How much whiskey goes into a glass?
Purists prefer two glasses: one filled with 4 cl of whiskey and one with fresh water. You should first drink water to cleanse your mouth, and then open the whiskey glass and sniff it with your mouth open, inhaling quickly, repeating no more than three times to capture the aromatic profile, and then drink. This is the method that many people prefer for tasting whiskey.
However, tasting distillates with an alcohol content of 40-45% could be unpleasant. People therefore often try to reduce the alcohol content to 30-35 percent to make it more enjoyable by adding 0.5 cl of water. Although whiskey is usually tasted at a temperature of 18-20°C, some prefer it “on the rocks” with ice cubes. In this case, the quantity remains the same, but 2-3 ice cubes should be added so as not to water down the drink too much.

Popular varieties include fruit brandies such as Obstler, Williams-Christ pear brandy or various herbal liqueurs such as Jägermeister, Underberg or Kuemmerling.
For a digestive schnapps or digestif, a quantity of 2 cl to 4 cl is usually poured.
