A man stands next to a 490 liter Grande Cuvee TBA NV No.7 2005 of Austrian wine maker Kracher during its presentation Rehetobel Switzerland, some 40 km (26 miles) from lake Constance on November 28, 2007.
The bottle itself has been certified by Guinness World Records as the world's largest bottle of wine which holds the equivalent to 640 regular bottles, or 69,000 glasses of wine. Yum!..."hic"

This works out to about 108 glasses of wine per bottle. I don't know much about wine, but this doesn't seem right.
Come on.
'Wants' is correct.
If you're trying to look professional, it helps to try and master grade school punctuation.
Also, does it have a cork or a screw-on cap? If it's a cork, I don't think my corkscrew is up to the task. Then again, how would you pour it?
Wow. 250ml glasses? [about 8.4 fl.oz.] that mean that you're filling your glass up the rim, or that you're using a beer glass! Or it's a very old bottle and you have a lot to decant ;)
A "normal" use for a wine bottle is 5 to 6 servings. Champagne would go 6 to 8, especially if you add the French red current cream or other cocktail ingredients.
James you either have a math problem, or a drinking problem ;p
Anyway :
* a 750ml bottle of wine is 5 to 6 servings.
* Champagne is 6 to 8, more if you add cocktail ingredients.
But regardless...there is nowhere near 108 servings in a regular bottle of wine.
490L / 69000 glasses ~= .0071 L ~= a quarter ounce per glass
So someone (presumably at Reuters) screwed up in the conversion from Liters to servings
Happy holidays!
