you have two sizes for measurements, first is 125ml and the next is 175ml.
Though a true red wine glass is called a bachus it has a bulbous bottom to let the red wine breath and so you can swill it round the glass...
Hope this helps :-)

Wine glasses come in all sizes dependant upon the maker and the market- Most are in smaller specific sizes for bar and restaurant use, to pour and measure set amounts, however these do nothing for the wine
Realistically the best glasses are large as this allows the aroma to develop and smell is one of the most important factors in wine enjoyment. It is hard to accurately describe a glass based on volume only so I will try to describe by bowl size- ignoring the stem
For a red wine the bowl should be 5 to 6 inches high and 4 across, and have a rounded shape- there are many exact configurations of this shape for specific wines, but only a professional can detect at that level,-pour no more than 1 to 2 inches and swirl the glass to release aromas- For a white the bowl should be more tulip shaped with straighter sides but close to the same size
If you doubt this try the same wine from the normal bar sizes and a bigger glass and note the difference in the taste
Enjoy

If you do mean size, then 125, 150, 175, 225 & 250. But if you actually mean shape, then red wine glasses are larger, with a wider bowl. theory behind that is the greater exposed surface of the wine gives the wine a good opportunity to breathe without loosing the aroma.
White wine on the other hand is served in narrower, taller bowls that allow the boquet of the wine to concentrate.

In my pub, we sell red and white wine by either 125, 175 or 250ml glasses.

average pub measures 150ml. red wine glasses hold 250ml cause the wine needs oxygen to improve the flavour

Pub measures are normally 175 or 225 ml, but they are the same for white and red.

Basically, as you can tell by the answers you're receiving, they come in different measures. In my pub we sell 125, 175 and 250. But in my last pub we only sold 175ml so it all depends.
Sorry if this isn't what you were after.
