Buy half bottles and small-format wine online in Australia at Whisky Wine Sake. From 187ml single-serves to classic 375ml half bottles — the right amount of good wine when a full bottle is more than the occasion calls for.

Why buy a half bottle?

A 375ml half bottle is two generous glasses: perfect for a dinner for one, a midweek glass without opening something you'll not finish, or serving a different wine with each course. The 187ml and 200ml singles go where glass bottles usually can't — picnics, hampers, weddings, corporate gifting and event bars, with no leftovers and no waste.

Half bottles also age faster than full bottles, which is a feature rather than a flaw: a young, structured red in 375ml will show its softer side years earlier than the same wine in 750ml.

What to look for

The range spans everyday whites and easy reds through to serious small-format bottlings — Margaret River Cabernet, Barossa Shiraz, Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir and cool-climate Chardonnay. Buying a benchmark producer in half bottle is the cheapest way to try a wine that would otherwise be a commitment. Prefer spirits in small sizes? Our miniatures range covers 50ml whisky, gin and liqueur. Or browse all wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many glasses are in a half bottle of wine?

A 375ml half bottle pours two standard 150ml glasses. A 187ml single is one generous glass.

Do half bottles cost more per millilitre?

Usually a little, yes — bottling smaller formats costs more per litre. You're paying for the right quantity and zero waste, which is often the better deal when the alternative is half a bottle down the sink.

Are half bottles good for gifting?

Excellent. A trio of half bottles makes a far more interesting gift than a single anonymous bottle, and 187ml singles are the standard choice for wedding favours and event bars.

Do half bottles age well?

They age faster. Less wine to the same amount of oxygen means quicker development — ideal if you want to drink a cellar-worthy wine sooner.

Do you deliver half bottles across Australia?

Yes — fast, secure delivery Australia-wide, free shipping on NSW orders over $150, and click and collect from our Enmore Road store in Sydney.
