i probably get 6-8 pours. i'd prefer 6 but 8 makes it seem like there's more. but i like the glasses that have been shown!

Too bad I am too stupid and impatient to load photos here. I have watched 56 winemakers / owners in Porto, dump a full bottle of their just declared VP (June 2013) into a single glass and it looked as if it probably could have held 80-90. I have photos of LOTS of well known men and women at that Confraria "2011 declaration ceremony" pouring in their bottles. I always wondered if anyone to see if any of the bottles were corked before pouring into the massive cuvee, because later, we were served this blend. [shrug.gif]
