#3This references the study showing that people eat more when using larger plates, but I think wine drinking is the one instances where those results aren't easily transferrable.
Wine glasses today are usually filled to about 1/4, where (judging by the painting in the article, and my guess) glasses 1/7th the size of today's were filled to the rim.

I wonder how much of the liquid/volume ratio is just due to people trying to protect their white carpet...

what do you mean? that'd be an amusing correlation to show, actually, but the study would be torturous.

#6Everything is getting much bigger. The candy in my youth was really small compared to today's bars. With ice cream it's even worse.

That may be true from your youth, but things are getting smaller from a decade ago, candy[0], chips, fountain drinks, etc.

some anecdata - I spilled an oversized glass of red wine our carpet ina previous house and escalated my wife's 'need' for wooden floors by unknown to immediate. :-)
on a side note we were much happier with the wooden floor

You don't know many drunks, I guess. Lots of people fill the glass much more than they are supposed to.

#10> These days, the average British pour of wine is 250 milliliters, “larger than the mean capacity of wine glasses available in the 1980s,” writes Marteau.
Wow that’s a big pour - you expect to get 4-5 glasses of wine out of a standard 750ml bottle, potentially a little more than that if you’re ordering by the glass in a restaurant.
