But regardless...there is nowhere near 108 servings in a regular bottle of wine. He might have a drinking problem, his math might be slightly off.

Anyway : * a 750ml bottle of wine is 5 to 6 servings. * Champagne is 6 to 8, more if you add cocktail ingredients. Bummer, my comment got lost.

Anyway :

[about 8.4 fl.oz.] that mean that you're filling your glass up the rim, or that you're using a beer glass! Or it's a very old bottle and you have a lot to decant ;) A "normal" use for a wine bottle is 5 to 6 servings. Champagne would go 6 to 8, especially if you add the French red current cream or other cocktail ingredients. James you either have a math problem, or a drinking problem ;p *Wine most commonly comes in 750ml bottles, with about 3 glasses of wine after decanting.*

Also, does it have a cork or a screw-on cap? If it's a cork, I don't think my corkscrew is up to the task. Then again, how would you pour it? But how does it taste?
