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!

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
