A miniature is a small bottle of a spirit, liqueur or other alcoholic beverage.
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.
[6] Miniatures are collected by some people, with various clubs and societies serving the hobby.
[7] Some jurisdictions that otherwise allow the sale of liquor specifically ban miniatures, to reduce litter, single-use plastic consumption, and public drunkenness by making the cheapest available alcoholic beverages more expensive.
