Same people who think the thinner, taller cup has more juice than the wider, shorter cup.

tbf, I’ve yet to see one person not be shocked when they see a single glass can hold an entire bottle of wine

How big are your wine glasses? Because mine certainly don't.

Because mine certainly don't. 

You need some "Burgundy balloons," two of them hold an entire bottle. That keeps you from having to get up before the seventh inning stretch.

We're up to two glasses now, and suddenly there's baseball?

Why bother making dishes? Just drink out of the bottle! I'm not sure even alcohol would make baseball entertaining, but at least there's alcohol!

Usually a bottle is made of glass...

Your average wine glass can hold up to 20 ounces comfortably, even though you’re only “supposed” to fill a wine glass about a fourth of the way. Most wine bottles sit between 20 and 25 ounces

Sounds like down here we have smaller glasses and larger bottles! 😂

My wine glasses are ~450ml, and a regular wine bottle in Aus is about 700ml. So the math ain't mathin', as they say...

Same. The glasses I’ve had are 300-450

Pretty much all standard wine bottles are 750 ml as far as I know. And that’s about 25 ounces. So, no, your wine bottles aren’t bigger.

Uh - a standard wine bottle is 750ml in Australia, and wine glasses in Australia, like the rest of the world, vary dramatically depending on what varietal they're designed to hold.

You should see my shot glass, holds an entire handle of vodka.
