2.1.1. What are the biggest issues you experience when it comes to measurement used for trade?

There appears to be no standard serving for a glass of wine, nor do wine glasses have lines showing where to fill to. In complete contrast to beer or spirits for example. Recently I was at a restaurant in Sydney where they ripped me off by only serving 100ml. I thought they were just offering a taste before filling the glass. The EU and UK have minimum mandated wine servings but Australia does not. Time to fix this.
