Drinkers served wine in a large glass will consume more alcohol and spend more money, a new study has suggested.
To uncover whether serving wine in larges glasses affected how people
drank, researchers from the Behaviour and Health Research Unit at the
University of Cambridge carried out a study in a local pub.
As part of the research, bar staff swapped smaller glasses for larger containers to serve standard 175ml portions of wine.
