The UK Chief Medical Officers' low-risk drinking guidelines recommend consuming no more than 14 units of alcohol per week. While this number provides a clear weekly limit, translating it into an exact number of bottles is not a straightforward calculation and depends entirely on the type and strength of your drink.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC, a standard serving of table wine is defined as 5 ounces. However, this simple answer can be surprisingly complex, as the ideal pour size often depends on the wine's specific style, alcohol content, and the occasion.

A 500ml bottle of wine, sometimes called a 'Jennie' or half-liter bottle, is less common than the standard 750ml, but it typically contains about three glasses. However, the exact number of glasses of wine in 500ml depends entirely on the size of the pour, which can vary significantly depending on the type of wine and the setting.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a standard glass of wine is 5 ounces. A standard 3-liter Bota Box contains the equivalent of four 750ml glass bottles of wine, or roughly 20 five-ounce glasses. This provides a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional bottled wine.
