A 15-ounce carafe of wine contains how many drinks?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 5

The correct answer is: 3

A 15-ounce carafe of wine typically contains approximately 3 drinks. This is based on standard serving sizes, where a standard wine serving is generally considered to be 5 ounces. By dividing the total volume of the carafe (15 ounces) by the standard serving size (5 ounces), you arrive at 3 servings. Understanding this concept is crucial for responsible alcohol service, as it helps servers and establishments establish proper portion control and assist customers in making informed choices about their consumption. This calculation also plays a significant role in promoting moderation and compliance with alcohol service laws.
