| 释义 |
A miniature is a small bottle of a spirit, liqueur or other alcoholic beverage. Their contents, typically 50 ml, are intended to comprise an individual serving.[1] Miniatures may be used as gifts, samples, or for promotional purposes. In Scotland and the Northeastern United States they are often known as "Nips", and referred to elsewhere as "airplane bottles". They are sometimes available in hotel mini-bars, on trains[2] and planes,[3] and in other circumstances where serving from a full size bottle is impractical or uneconomical. They are sometimes sold in sets, allowing the comparative tasting of different types of beverage.[4][5] They are also sold in gift sets with a corresponding drinking glass.[6] Miniatures are collected by some people, with various clubs and societies serving the hobby.[7] References1. ^50 ml is double the standard 25 ml single measure used in some countries 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/atseatcatering/|title=At Seat Catering|publisher=Arriva Trains Wales|accessdate=14 January 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-news/crew-pilfering-whisky-and-caviar-driving-air-india-bankrupt-20120518-1yuvj.html|title=Crew pilfering whisky and caviar 'driving Air India bankrupt'|work=The Sydney Morning Herald|accessdate=14 January 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Highland-Park-Tasting-Collection-Miniature/dp/B004OINT34|title=Highland Park Tasting Collection Malt Whisky Miniature Gift Pack|work=Amazon.com|accessdate=14 January 2013}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.whiskyshopdufftown.co.uk/oldspeysidesminiatureset-p-2289.html|title=Old Speysides Miniature Set - The Whisky Shop Dufftown|accessdate=14 January 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131029194900/http://www.whiskyshopdufftown.co.uk/oldspeysidesminiatureset-p-2289.html|archivedate=29 October 2013|df=}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.uk/Miniature-Sheep-Whisky-Tasting-Glass/dp/B004JNOJFG|title=Miniature Sheep Dip Whisky 5cl and Tasting Glass Gift Box Gift Sety|work=Amazon.com|accessdate=14 January 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.midwestmbc.com/|title=Midwest Miniature Bottle Collectors|accessdate=9 March 2017}} External links
