A new study finds people are more generous in their wine-pouring than they realize.

It found many people pour about 12% more than a normal serving without even realizing it. Apparently we overpour if the glass is wide and the wine is white. We do a better job doing a proper pour if the glass is on a table as opposed to holding it in your hand. We also pour more accurately if the wine is red, in contrast to the clear glass. Researchers say knowing all this can help you control how much alcohol and calories you’re taking in.
