In the case of six bottles

The other night my husband and I open half a bottle of champagne Lanson black label. I love ????? and glass every night, but sometimes (even with good champagne stopper), it is difficult to maintain this bottle. With half a glass bottle, we (in our very large glass/flutes) as aperitif or begin the meal, then transfer to the Red or white.

In France, a few years ago we had 3 or 4 days in red wine. most restaurants we had a list of the extensive, half-bottle ?????????? us as we are both red and white without overdoing it (by our standards) or spending too much, because each was exactly half a bottle half price wine bottle full of it.

 We can only excited by lists half a bottle a larger restaurants or shops. Why they are so rare? The production side, it is because only half bottles are costly to produce approximately 750 from? Is it because they are difficult to sell? On the consumer, can you find half-bottles in the pool? The restaurant? Most half-bottles that I see are sweet wines (some of which are available only at half a bottle) shining.Perhaps because those smaller quantities drunk.At wine.com, we have 60 wines in half a bottle of our 21 (about 30%) are still wines, dry (no, not dessert). we, like the online store, half-bottle shipment will occur no less (or space saving) than full-bottle shipment. but it is not, why not have a high-demand consumers won't like distributor. told me a few days, consumers ask for the half-bottles at a lack of diversity, but when they display the options, customers continue to buy bottles filled. in other words, customers require, but will not work when the opportunity presents itself, but was certainly! with a good selection of bottled wine, half the price of a bottle half full I enjoyed drinking much more than two different wines above my meal than be stuck with one. However, it's probably better off with more solid repository buying bottles as someone worked ?????., I can't see half-bottles as popular shops like restaurant-although they are perfect for a pregnant woman to have partners who have open bottles! half when I was pregnant.

Question on Twitter (what do you think the half bottles?), the responses were positive towards them, and most want a larger variety of not loving the premiums-also called, are not always half full bottle price Seresin estate (some Noir Blanc-the best tour of New Zealand Sauvignon) said that you are only starting to make half-bottles can jump at the opportunity ... to invite their half bottle like restaurant inspires passion SB and red for the main meal, but again, only if it was half full-bottle price.

Love to hear other opinions about half bottles of producers, traders, consumers-why we see more of them?
