In an effort to curb the widespread fraudulent practice of tavern owners diluting wine with water, Pope Sixtus V stepped in and mandated the use of official, stamped ceramic and glass carafes to guarantee accurate measurements for customers. This strict anti-fraud decree birthed a colorful spectrum of tavern terminology: a full liter of wine was known as a \"tubbo,\" while smaller, more modest pours included the \"chirichetto\" or altar boy (200 ml), named for its resemblance to liturgical ampoules used during Mass. Patrons ordering the smallest pour of 100 ml would ask for a \"sospiro\" or sigh—named after the bashful sigh given by a customer who was either watching their budget or practicing supreme moderation.
