That means around 70% of drinks were less than the prescribed quantity required by the Weights and Measures Order for pints, half pints, and 175ml glasses of wine.And that shortfall adds up. CTSI Chief Executive, John Herriman, said there was a "potential detriment to the average consumer of around £115 every year."The largest short measure researchers found was 15% under, on a £3.20 glass of wine in Walsall. In Belfast, a £7.20 glass of wine was found to be 13.
