May or Could?

They're both auxiliary verbs, May suggests conditional of Can while Could is future conditional of Can.
Might (which is further conditional of May) you please decide which you want?

Is the bottle a 330cl or 600cl ? If it's 330 I guess it's fairly mini.

[badpenny]

Neither, it's empty.

I might be wrong, I usually am, but to save confusion and ink, future conjecture could be prefaced with, "I am wrong, I invariably am."

Have you ever paid any attention to our politicians, JP? We must have a warped sense of humour to vote for any of the beggars!
