It's a little tiny carafe that nets about one and a half gl***** so
the servers trick is to refill your glass when it's about half empty
and ask if you want another glass. There are restaurants here that
only serve quartino's...the price is equivalent to two gl***** but for
some reason the m***** think that they are geting a bargain! Go
figure...
