A better reason why wine glasses are not filled like that is that wine glasses are designed to capture the aroma of the wine.

Since people look at a glass of wine and judge how much "value" they got based partly on how much wine it looks like, many bars and restaurants choose bad wine-glasses (for the purpose of enjoying wine) that are smalle and thus can be fulled more.
