A 12+ oz wine glass is the way to go.

Pouring two to three glasses of wine when you think you’re pouring just a glass is actually quite common, new research at Iowa State and Cornell universities reveals.Nothing in the rest of the article talks about simple miscounting like this first sentence does.

This is funny. It seems like a “duh” assessment to me. If glasses are different sizes or colors, people are going to pour different amounts. If the study asked people to pour the same amount in the same type of glass, they’d get consistent results.
I hope taxpayer money wasn’t spent on this study. (Too lazy to click through before a full glass of chocolate milk.) ;p

Sometimes people pour a little too much wine in the glass, and have to sip it down until they can pour the right amount back into it. I’ve found that it often takes three or four tries to get it right, only with me it is Scotch, not wine.

A glass of wine is 1/4 a bottle.....easiest way to judge is look at the bottle....

"The study’s findings are described in the journal of Substance Use and Misuse."
And why would they choose wine for this study? People have trouble estimating volumes when it comes to wine but can pour exact amounts if the liquid is orange juice or water?
Could there be an agenda behind this study? Me thinks so.

You know, in the not-to-distant-future, citizens will only be allowed to partake of single serve wines - with an HHS card swipe before each purchase....

Another useless "study" and costly "research" performed at taxpayers' supported institutes of higher leftist leaning.
The two "assistant professors" cited above apparantly have little to do with active classroom teaching jobs....just diddling around conducting wine-pouring tests that no one cares about and then publishing papers on it that no one reads.
No wonder our kids graduate out of college unable to even pass high school tests and in some cases, eighth grade grammar school tests.
Well, at least they'll know how to pour wine in the proper manner.
