International flights Main cabin/Comfort. Wine is served from magnum wine bottles into plastic single pour cups. Ask for a double if you're thirsty. Liquor is served via mini liquor bottles with ice/mixer per request.

Still like that on some Asian carriers; my issue with that is I often get a tiny pour (less than a mini’s worth).

Ah.... so no scope of taking a couple of small wine bottles out of the plane?

In the real good old days, the 80s and 90s, the FAs would almost always give F passengers two miniatures "for the road". My sister-in-law's husband, who doesn't drink, stocked his liquor closet at his home for his guests who took a drink with lots of miniatures from Delta.

And yet, on a CVG-FCO flight 20 years ago, the wonderful Delta FA who served me in the forward cabin (can't remember if it was called Business Elite at the time) gave me a bottle of the red wine I had been enjoying on the flight. Another time, on a VS flight LHR-JFK before the pandemic, I was sitting at the bar in the back of J enjoying a couple of bourbons and the FA gave me the bottle (which was full except for the two shots he poured me).

I have been served wine in small mini bottle, from a box, and a large bottle. The latter two into a basic plastic cup. Spirts have most always been a mini bottle in coach. Up front they tend to mix the drink. I prefer to mix my own.
