Rare BamaVol Posted 22 hours ago #2 Share Posted 22 hours ago I’ve never seen it measured. I would estimate 5-6 ounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted 22 hours ago #3 Share Posted 22 hours ago Approx 5 oz. They don't measure via a bottle or jigger or like on the glass, it's eyeballed - but it's approximately 5 ounces, standard pour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted 22 hours ago #4 Share Posted 22 hours ago In Vines they have discreetly placed reference pours and they’re consistent 5oz. In the other bars / MDR, they’re free poured without a visual reference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me the bartenders know exactly where to pour and stop in the glass to hit 5 oz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most restaurants I go to have various levels of wine pour f from 4 to 6 to 9 ounces. Prices are by ounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted 18 hours ago #10 Share Posted 18 hours ago I agree that its not really different from a pour on land If you're a regular at a bar on land you also may get a more generous pour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare reeves35 Posted 17 hours ago #11 Share Posted 17 hours ago (edited) Standard pour is usually 150ml (equivalent of 5 fluid ounces). For reference a standard metric cup is 250ml. Edited 17 hours ago by reeves35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted 16 hours ago #12 Share Posted 16 hours ago With the old Bormioli Rocco glasses they were remarkably consistent. With the Riedel their sight pours are much less consistent. They may average 5 but the standard deviation is higher. Unpopular Opinion: I would prefer them to use Enomatic dispense and preserve systems, especially in the service bars for the MDR and the open decks, to serve at a better temperature, without oxidation, and with a consistent 5 oz pour with headroom to pour two tastes per bottle. I was *certain* that they’d do a self-serve Enomatic wine bar with a Medallion integration on at least some vessels. I believe HAL has done this with beer and wine on some - AIDA certainly has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unpopular at all!! I agree wholeheartedly - cannot believe they didn't integrate it in at least Sun, being whole new ship and all. They could have easily on Discovery and Enchanted also.. Then again - seeing as they've done away with Vines anyways - obviously, having the best wine and wine preservation isn't high on their list ...

They put those machines on Celebrity at Cellar Masters and they were always shut down. Only once did we see them working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I distinctly remember either on Celebrity Edge or Silhouette that those wine dispensers were not included in our premium drink package, but ordering from the bar or waitstaff was included, which was very odd and probably why it was so unpopular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enomatic systems range in price from approx $5,000 to $20,000 depending on the size and quality. I imagine a cruise line would have to purchase quite a few of the more expensive models to serve its multiple dining rooms and bars. You really think it is worth it to preserve and serve $8.00 a bottle wine in the Dining Room? Maybe a small system in Pinnacle Grill for 4-5 bottles, but other than that, not very cost effective.

Those systems were down more than they worked on Celebrity. Total failure. Never have seen on HAL. The bottles needed to be changed out by hand. Great idea that doesn't work except for VERY expensive wine. For those concerned with the pour size 15x5oz equals almost exactly 5 bottles of wine. Scary amount even if you got a couple coffees.

Scary amount even if you got a couple coffees. Not to argue but I think it’s closer to 3 bottles of wine, even though that is still a lot of wine for one person to consume each day. With a 5 oz pours they try to get 5 pours out of each bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
