    Its not double though. Its called a half or a shoulder.

    It's not half either TBH! It's one shot off double so double is close enough! :D

    I would call it a 375 ml though.

    It is 350ml though which is half a bottle!

    A half of wine is 375ml.

    It's a full 350ml bottle!

    It'd be half a bottle if it was a half full 700ml bottle!

    Or half empty, of course.

    Where does the whole shoulder thing come from? Never got that one and it drives me mad!

    A half bottle, not half a bottle.

    Naggin = 200 ml
    Shoulder = 350 ml

    Funnily enough they had a 100 ml size in England, larger that what I would call a 'shot bottle'

    Colloquially I've only heard naggin but it should be noggin and is the same measure as a gill. According to NASA and the University of North Carolina it should also be 142 ml as opposed to 200 ml :p
