According italian wine merchants now it's time for the half bottle

After being rebuffed for years, the half bottle is living now its moment of glory. The reasons are varied: the difficult economic situation and the consequent collapse of general consumption, the increasingly desire of healthy life and the anti-alcohol limitations imposed by police to the driver. "Once upon a time choosing a half-bottle wine in the restaurant was a way to discover and bring certain types of wine", say italian wine merchants.
Now the motivation is connected to the consumption before driving and to the price factor. A tasting of quality but without wasteful is good for singles or those who, perhaps for reasons of work, eat out alone."I'am consumer and wine enthusiastic person, I always felt the need to drink one glass of wine in a restaurant, maybe at lunch, without having to order an entire bottle. Today, the negative economic situation and the need to moderate consumption, contribute to the success of the format to 375 ml." said italian win merchants Ornella Venica by Venica & Venica.

Even the restaurants say that their customers are choosing now bottle of 375 ml.
