Why Choose Small Formats

• Right-size pours: 200 ml is about one to two glasses. 375 ml is about two to three glasses depending on your pour.
• Faster to chill: Minis and halves reach serving temperature quickly in an ice bath or fridge.
• Freshness on demand: Open only what you need. No half-open bottles going flat.
• Gifting made easy: Premium houses in a compact format that looks stylish and travels well.

Format Guide

• 200 ml Piccolo: Perfect single serve. Great for gift packs, place settings, or picnic baskets.
• 187 ml Quarter: Similar to 200 ml, sometimes used by Champagne houses.
• 375 ml Half Bottle: Dinner for two, or one generous evening. Often the same cuvée as the full-size release.

Serving and Storage

• Chill: 6 to 8 °C for Prosecco and lighter styles. 8 to 10 °C for Champagne and traditional method.
• Open: Twist the cage while holding the cork, keep a firm grip, and tilt at 45 degrees to release pressure quietly.
• After opening: Use a sparkling stopper. Expect 1 to 3 days of fizz in the fridge, freshest on day one.
• Storage: Keep bottles cool, dark, and still. Minis and halves are designed for earlier drinking rather than long-term ageing.

Small Format Questions, Answered

Do small bottles taste the same as full size?
Yes. They are the same cuvées from the same houses. Smaller formats can appear a touch more youthful and bright, which many drinkers enjoy.

How many glasses are in a half bottle?
Typically two to three standard glasses depending on pour size and glassware.

Are minis good for gifting and events?
Absolutely. Minis are popular for wedding favours, corporate gifts, welcome amenities, and celebration packs.

What is the best way to chill a mini fast?
Submerge the bottle in an ice bath made with a 50 to 50 mix of ice and water. Add a handful of salt to speed it up. It will be properly chilled in about 10 to 15 minutes.

Can I fly with small bottles?
Policies vary by airline and route. Always check current rules on liquids and duty free allowances before you travel.
