SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

He didn't.

And then months later, the wine came in.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

But interestingly, I was watching Unfiltered last night with Hamish McLaughlin interviewing Mark Blifzars from Geelong, who's obviously into wine.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

And Hammer asked him, what would be the bottle of wine you'll have when you retire with Chris Scott?

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

And he said a bottle of DRC, Domaine Romani Conti.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

Yeah.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

Are you asking what glasses he'd be using?

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

That is one of the greatest questions you've ever asked me, and it's actually something that's always annoyed me.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

There isn't actually a rule, and it is something that I've thought about for a long time, that there should be a consistent standard.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

Isn't there a line on the glass?

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

Yeah, the lines on the glass are done by the restaurants so that the staff don't overpour.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

I would say generally you're looking in most venues doing 150 mils to 175 mil.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

But I actually think it would be good if wine lists more and more put on there how many mils there are.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

Not so much for the value, but also you can try to potentially work out how many standard drinks you're having.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

So remember, a standard drink...

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

by definition in wine is 100 mils at 10% alcohol.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

So if you've got a glass of red, that's 14% alcohol.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

Clearly, if you've got 175 mils in your glass, you're getting closer to two standard drinks and not one.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

So I think it would be a great thing for DrinkWise and others to almost mandate because then we would know how much we're drinking and then there's, of course, the value equation as well.

SEN Breakfast
George Samios, the Wonderful World of Wine (11.06.26)

Tell Gary why that's not a great idea, please, George.
