Why Less = More When It Comes to Pouring 🍇🥂
Let’s talk about something we’ve all done, filling our wine glass to the brim like it’s water at a diner.
While it might feel generous, overpouring actually holds your wine back.
🔍 The Ideal Pour = 5 Ounces
That’s right, just about ⅓ of the glass.
Why?
Because wine needs space to breathe, swirl, and release all those beautiful aromas.
When your glass is too full:
It’s hard to swirl without spillage
Aromas get trapped
Wine warms too fast from your hand
✨ A proper pour makes your wine taste better, not stingier.
🍷 Why Restaurants Nail This
Ever notice how fine dining spots pour less?
That’s not cheapness, it’s science.
They want you to enjoy the full experience: the look, the swirl, the nose, the finish.
💡 Try This at Home
Next time you pour, use a measuring cup just once to see what 5 ounces actually looks like.
You might be surprised!
And if you’re tasting wines back-to-back, even 2–3 ounces per glass is perfect.
🎉 Bonus Benefit: More Sharing, More Sipping
Smaller pours mean more time to enjoy, more room to share, and more chances to explore different wines in one sitting.
