Many traditional wine bottle sizes are named for Biblical kings and historical figures. [5] The chart below [6] lists the sizes of various wine bottles in multiples relating to a standard bottle of wine, which is 0.75 litres (0.20 US gal; 0.16 imp gal) (six 125 mL servings).
Alcohol measurements are units of measurement for determining amounts of beverage alcohol.Alcohol concentration in beverages is commonly expressed as alcohol by volume (ABV), ranging from less than 0.1% in fruit juices to up to 98% in rare cases of spirits.
One litre is slightly larger than a US liquid quart and slightly less than an imperial quart or one US dry quart. A mnemonic for its volume relative to an imperial pint is "a litre of water's a pint and three-quarters"; this is very close, as a litre is about 1.76 imperial pints. A cubic foot has an exact volume of 28.316846592 litres.
The reputed quart was a measure equal to two-thirds of an imperial quart (or one-sixth of an imperial gallon), at about 0.7577 liters, which is very close to one US fifth (0.757 liters). The reputed quart was previously recognized as a standard size of wine bottle in the United Kingdom, and is only about 1% larger than the current standard wine ...
"Beer busts" (all the beer/liquor one can drink for a set price) in bars are illegal. Persons 18 years of age or older may work in bars and liquor stores serving and selling alcohol.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines the "food labeling ounce" as 30 ml (1.1 imp fl oz; 1.0 US fl oz), slightly larger than the 29.6 ml (1.04 imp fl oz; 1.00 US fl oz) fluid ounce. [37] Several Dutch units of measurement have been replaced with informal metric equivalents, including the ons or ounce.
The teaspoon, tablespoon, and cup are defined in terms of a fluid ounce as 1 ⁄ 6, 1 ⁄ 2, and 8 fluid ounces respectively. The fluid ounce derives its name originally from being the volume of one ounce avoirdupois of water, [ 21 ] but in the US it is defined as 1 ⁄ 128 of a US gallon.
The volume of 1 grain of distilled water at 62 °F, 30 inHg pressure. [25] At that reference, water has a density of ≃ 0.9988 g ⁄ ml (438.0 grain / imp fl oz or 1.001 oz av / imp fl oz ), and thus: = 1.096 imperial minim [26] = .06488 ml or approximately a drop.
