half bottle

Partial wine portion

A half bottle is a wine bottle holding approximately 375 milliliters—half the standard 750ml bottle.

It serves one to two glasses, making it practical for solo dining or when a full bottle would be excessive: We ordered a half bottle of Chablis with the fish.

Also called a demi or split.
