How much is a "taste" at a winery, supermarket stand, or wine festival?
How much should you pour for wine, and how much for spirits?
The answer is (or should be ) that a "taste" should be what you want it to be. That's why you see so many Posi-Pours in use at wineries, and at trade show booths sampling spirits, and at liquor store tastings, and at whiskey and wine festivals....anywhere that the intent is to give only a taste - not more, not less. Just enough to help the potential customer make a choice.
We suggest 1/2 to 1 ounce for wine, and 1/4 to 1/2 ounce for liquor. But remember - we have portion sizes from as small as 1/4 to as large as 2 ounces to choose from.
So your doctor says, "no more than 2 drinks a day". What does that mean....is a beer one drink? 16 oz. or 12 oz.? Is an 8 ounce glass of wine a drink? How about 14 ounces? or 12?
How about spirits.....how much is "a drink"?
Here's the answer according to the Cleveland Clinic Men's Health Advisor:
"A standard drink equals 12 ounces of beer, 8 to 9 ounces of malt liquor, 5 ounces of wine, or 1-1/2 ounce of 80 proof distilled spirits."
Our 8 ounce mini cocktail mixer has always been a popular item for home use, and now we find a lot of bars prefer to class up their presentation by giving the customer his cocktail in the shaker. It always seems like a bigger cocktail when served in the shaker.
Our Economy Speed Pourer with collar pours faster than standard liquor pourers because it has a much larger spout diameter. Perfect for anyone looking for a super fast flow. Find it in our store by selecting "Free Flow Pourers", then click on "Economy Speed Pourer With Collar.
Of course we have a spout that fits the Cuervo 1800 bottle, and other large necked bottles as well. Free Flow or measuring - just order the Super Sized Amber Cork on any of our pour spouts. Leak free, long lasting, top quality.
This the Moonshine Pour Spout we developed for Mason Jar liquor - all in the moonshine category. The Moonshine Spout is a free flow, leak free product that makes the mason jar bartender friendly. Easy to pour, spillage and leak free. Without the Moonshine Spout, pouring out of a Mason Jar without waste is impossible.
How much is a "taste"? That's what the owner needs to decide. A taste of what? Wine? Whiskey? Vodka? What's the venue? A winery Tasting Room? A spirits festival? All these issues need to be addressed when deciding what a "taste" is.
Our Liquor Saver 2000 shown here is ideal for thicker necked wine bottles. It's good for standard quarts and liters of spirits as well. Portion sizes range from 1/4 oz. to 2 oz.
