i have created a wine list for my project and have a list of white and red wine with price per bottle. I am not sure how to guage the price for the by glass serving,seeing that the wines have different price. So how do i go about to determine the cost for the by glass serving?

it may depend oh how much you pour into one glass. i work at a wine bar where our glass pour is 6 ounces. this yields about 4 1/2 glasses, so we assume a bottle is around 26 oz. however, if you pour 5 oz glasses, obviously you can do 5 glasses a bottle. most restaurants go with dividing the bottle price by 4 and adding a dollar or so to the glass price to encourage purchasing a bottle since the total purchase price for 4 glasses is more than a bottle...

If you look at a typical wine list at a restaurant, you will find that although you can pour four glasses from one bottle of wine, they typically charge around 30% of bottle price for one glass. So, if a bottle costs $20, a glass would cost $6. And, do not offer by the glass price for your premium bottles.

A typical large measure of wine is 250ml - there are 3 in a bottle.
That is why many cheaper bars say buy two glasses and get the rest of the bottle free.
You'll find 5 small measures of 150ml in a standard bottle.
You have to make it marginally cheaper to buy the whole bottle - it will encourage bigger spending when people think they are getting a good deal. if the bottle is worth £12-13 I'd charge £5 for a large glass and £3 to £3.50 for a small. That way people know the worst value is to get a small glass.

A bottle of wine is 750ml - that pours 6 standard 125ml size glasses.
It is normal to price 750ml of wine bought by the glass as more expensive than when a bottle is bought, make it so they get a glass 'free' ifthey buy the bottle, thus divide the price of the bottle by 5 for a glass which is one sixth of the bottle.
So, if you're selling bottle for $20 then price a glass at $3.99 (1/5=$4.00 but bring down by 1c to make more attractive =23.94 a bottle).
You need to charge more by the glass
- you may have unsold wine left, if it doesn't sell soon it goes off
- a higher price encourages customers to trade up to a bottle

Get a standardsied glass, pour out how many glasses from each bottle. Devide cost of bottle by number of glasses and add a couple of pence for any difference.
You dont serve the better wines by the glass anyway so just charge for the most expensive of the cheaper wines that you do serve by the glass.

You get about 4 glasses from one normal sized bottle of wine (750 ml) so take the total for the bottle and divide by 4.
$24/bottle
=
$6/glass

You don't, just bend over and take it. I work for a winery and seen a 12 dollar bottle poured at 8 a glass, I've also seen our best wine on a wine list with about a 130% mark up.

I would say divide by 5 . . you should get a good glass at 150ml, in some places they only serve 125, so 150 is generous . . so divide the price of the bottle by 5

At the restaurant I worked at (big wine business) we divided the cost by 4.

Check how many glasses you get from one bottle.
Then take the price and parts it by the number of glasses, and then at some cents to it....so this way it's cheaper to get a bottle.
