Dry bulk ingredients, such as sugar and flour, are measured by weight in most of the world ("250 g flour"), and by volume in North America ("1 ⁄ 2 cup flour"). Small quantities of salt and spices are generally measured by volume worldwide, as few households have sufficiently precise balances to measure by weight.
For wine low in acid, a maximum of 4 grams per liter (0.00014 lb/cu in) sugar is allowed. If the acid level exceeds 2 grams per liter (7.2 × 10 −5 lb/cu in), the sugar may exceed the acid level by 2 grams per liter, up to a maximum sugar content of 9 grams per liter (0.00033 lb/cu in). [ 1 ]
In the United States, the standard drink contains 0.6 US fluid ounces (18 ml) of alcohol. This is approximately the amount of alcohol in a 12-US-fluid-ounce (350 ml) glass of beer, a 5-US-fluid-ounce (150 ml) glass of wine, or a 1.5-US-fluid-ounce (44 ml) glass of a 40% ABV (80 US proof) spirit.
The dry quart and dry pint are exactly 15121 / 92400 larger than their liquid counterparts, while the dry barrel is exactly 1 / 33 smaller than the fluid barrel, except for barrels of beer (dry barrels are exactly 5 / 341 smaller) and barrels of oil (dry barrels are exactly 3 / 11 smaller).
Must weight is a measure of the amount of sugar in grape juice and, hence, indicates the amount of alcohol that could be produced if it is all fermented to alcohol, rather than left as residual sugar.
Glass is a relatively heavy packing material and wine bottles use quite thick glass, so the tare weight of a full wine bottle is a relatively high proportion of its gross weight. The average weight of an empty 750 mL wine bottle is 500 g (and can range from 300 to 900 g), which makes the glass 40% of the total weight of the full bottle. [27]
In fact, red wine glasses are intentionally much larger than white wine glasses, because you want air circulating through the wine to open up the aroma and open up your pallet. This comes at a ...
Knowing the amount of extract in 100 grams (3.5 oz) of wort before fermentation and the number of grams of extract in 100 grams (3.5 oz) of beer at its completion, the amount alcohol (in grams) formed during the fermentation can be determined. The formula follows, attributed to Balling [1]: 427
