    A small glass of wine is 125ml

    Is there not supposed to a price list in all
    bars regarding prices.
    If I ask for a small wine , a few places deliver a 175 ml.

    Haven't seen a price list for years. They might be hidden behind the bar.

    A glass of win 125ml is one unit. So as you are aloud 2 units supposedly tp drive legally= 250ml.

    Never seen a 125ml for years. Always 175ml or 250 ml or the whole bottle.

    If you check the back of the bottle (best done before) the small print will tell you a full bottle is around 10 units making 250ml 3.5 units.

    A trap many people get into I'd imagine.
    1 Unit is one unit. The amount of liquid is irrelevant as wine like all alcohol varies from brand to brand.

    Here's a snap shot.

    I am sure that it was made a legal requirement for licensed premises to have to display prices and amounts of alcohol. There does not seem to be much about this now, it is more about underage drinking and strengths of alcohol. There is a weights and measures rule, that states:

    Type Measures
    Still wine 125ml, 175ml, multiples of 125ml and 175ml
    Port, sherry or other fortified wine 50ml, 70ml, multiples of 50ml or 70ml
    Gin, rum, vodka and whisky Either 25ml and multiples of 25ml, or 35ml and multiples of 35ml (not both on the same premises)
    Draught beer and cider Third, half, two-thirds of a pint and multiples of half a pint
    and I suppose that encompasses a wee dram?
