Cost consciousness and ergonomics with 1.75 liter bottles.

I am coming to the last quarter of the year.  One main lesson I've come to learn is that clients love to buy the giant 1.75 L bottles of alcohol in order to save money.  I completely understand their desire to keep cost down and buy in bulk to buy cheap.

However as a bartender I hate these bottles from a functional standpoint of view. 

The bottle weight is heavy for one handed pouring.  The size is difficult to grip and tip to pour.   The size also makes it difficult to pour into jiggers.   They put a lot of strain on the wrist. They over tilt and splash more than I want causing spillage and waste.  It really disturbed me to spill client supplies.  Makes me feel that I'm cheating the client.  But it also concerns me that my wrists and joints are being strained as well as those of the people I hire to help me.  

 I've been struggling with this for several months trying to figure out a good solution.  

Here is what I'm going to try the next time I have a 1.75L bottle or a bottle with oversized opening.  

The Oversized Spout .   Found theses and figured it would help reduce spillage and more accurate pours. 

Better control of the pour is how I'm working to Raise the Bar and toasting your spirits.
