50ml glasses of wine enough, health board says

Nelson’s health board has defended its decision to fight for tiny tots of wine in a seven-course degustation. Wellington chef Martin Bosley, who is preparing food for a seven-course degustation meal at Te Awhina Marae, said it was “ridiculous” that each of the courses would be served with just 50ml of wine. 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.
