Half-Bottle
375 milliliters or one half of the standard bottle size. Also known
as
a
"split" or a "tenth".

I think a split is 187 mls.

The term is used for both the 187 ml bottle and the 375 ml bottle (as you
can verify with an internet search for "split wine bottle").

You can find just about whatever you want on the internet. Doesn't mean
it's correct.

It originally
applied to the 375 ml bottle, and derived from "Let's split a bottle".


Sounds catchy, but I don't think it's true.


The 187 ml bottle is a relatively new creation.



What makes you think that?
