50ml glasses of wine enough, health board saysLAURA WALTERS/FAIRFAX NZ Wellington chef Martin Bosley says 50ml glasses of wine are "ridiculous". The marae had wanted to serve 100ml glasses, then 75ml, but had to drop it to 50ml after negotiations with the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board. The health board's medical officer of health, Andrew Lindsay, said a standard drink of 12.5 per cent wine was 100ml. Nelson's health board has defended its decision to fight for tiny tots of wine in a seven-course degustation. The Public Health Service looked into special licence applications to make sure alcohol harm was minimised as required under Sale and Supply of Alcohol legislation.
