None. I would be interested in some whites but the wines I want are hard to find in 375s.
Too bad Neal isnāt here to comment

I love half bottles-gives me a chance to try some wines and their evolution when I donāt want to open a full bottle. We have lots of Sauternes, Bordeaux and Burgundy in half bottle format.
We sometimes see the word āsplitā used when referring to āhalf bottlesā-a āsplitā is half of a half bottle or 187.5ml-a format you can find for some Champagnes and others but not as widely available as a half bottle.

I just tried to buy a few 2016 Trimbach Clos Ste Hune in 375s, but to no avail. Back in graduate school, I remember drinking through lots and lots of late 90s half bottles of CSH at Chez Henri (a French/Cuban near Harvard Square). Thought it would be fun to revisit, but I donāt want a 750, especially at current prices.
Whatever I can find when the price is right. Like full-bodied reds in halves the best because I usually donāt eat that kind of red meat two days in a row, and end up with too big a wine for whatever weāre eating the second night.
Outside of Sauternes, we have more .375ās of Champagne than anything else. Billecart Salmon Roseā and Bonville, primarily. We also buy Ridge Geyserville, as they are usually available at the winery.

More, if I could find them available in the wines I like and the price is right, not like 75% of a 750ml bottle.
Kirk, your āother thanā on the dessert wines eliminates the vast majority of my 375/500 bottles. But over the past couple of years as I have been turned on to Champagne not just for āspecial occasionsā I find Champagne in the half bottle to be a very versatile format. I am not talking high end, but just your everyday good quality enjoyable bubbly. e.g. Louis Roederer Brut Premier, B-S Brut Reserve & Brut Rose, Ployez-Jacquemart Rose, Taittinger La Francaise, Laurent Perrier La Cuvee to name several that I have enjoyed in 375ml. I have managed to find all of these except the Ployez-Jacquemart at wine.com in the 375ml format. If they are priced reasonably to begin with, the use of coupons/rebates/cc offers can make these relatively inexpensive. Cheers.

I never seek out anything in 375, and only buy them if they are an incredible deal somewhere. I agree with others above who say that if you want a little more of something, just open a full bottle and leave the remainder for the next day. I also donāt drink many dessert wines, and even a full bottles of Champagne usually seems like not quite enough. I wish they came in 1 liter bottles. 
Take out the Vermouth, Liqueurs, and stickies and there isnāt a lot of choice in the wines I would like to buy. 
Astor wines also has a decent selection of 375s. Inventory is constantly beinng updated and a lot of the good stuff doesnāt last too long
Great post Dan!
lotās of things Iād be happy with:
Faiveley Clos des Myglands
Jamet Cote Rotie
Canniliccio di Sopra Brunello
Altesino Brunello
Billaud Simon Village Chablis
Bonneau du Martray Corton Charlmagne
and a couple of things Iād be interested in trying
Barraud Pouilly Fuissee Vielle Vignes
Mellot Sancerre La Moussiere
On some of these, the pricing is actually good. With a little more age, Iād be thrilled with a mixed case of these 6 that I listed.
I love a good 1/2 bottle. Half whites are great for weekend lunch when we donāt want to open a full bottle or around 4-5pm to sip on while working on mise en place for dinner. Iāve had luck finding halves lately of Hippolyte Sancerre which is perfect for how we like to drink them. Iām less focused on red when it comes to half bottles but when I was on the Ridge Monte Bello list I enjoyed getting half bottle options and did stack a few cases of those away. We donāt drink much cab and when we do itās tough for us to get through an entire bottle so half Monte Bello is a good option for the occasional steak night.
I have several vintages of Cantemerle, Batailley, Beaumont and Langoa Barton in 375s, from the just about ready 2009, through to to the leave it alone 2019s. Itās a cheap way of checking progress and comparing qualities.
Only by a 375ml of something that is too pricey in its 750ml format. Krug resonates. Especially in springtime when the prices dip a bit. I have bought Krug 375mlās for years, and the wine is still the best Champagne I have ever tasted, and the experience is still amazing. And it makes my hand look big!
I agree with most here, sweet wine and champagnes. But I have been buying recently released Bordeaux in 375 just to taste them. Iām too old to wait until they are ready to drink, but Iām curious about the hyped vintages lately.
I always want more half bottles than I can find. For us, half a bottle of an evening is usually ideal, so a full bottle typically has to survive 1-2 days once opened.
Oh, for those interested, Flatiron Wines has some von Winning in 375s atm
The Wine Society is my usual source.
