Reference points

1 / 2
01
  • 1 L = 100 cL = 1,000 mL; 1 cL = 10 mL.
  • A 75 cL bottle contains 750 mL; a 37.5 cL half-bottle, 375 mL; a 1.5 L magnum, 1,500 mL.
02
  • You may also encounter 50 cL and formats of 3 L or more.
  • Always read capacity: a large-format name can vary by region.
03
  • A US fl oz is about 29.57 mL; an imperial fl oz about 28.41 mL.
  • Thus 750 mL is about 25.36 US fl oz or 26.40 imperial fl oz.
04

Oz alone is ambiguous

  • ask whether it means fluid ounces and which system.
  • An ounce of mass cannot directly calculate the number of glasses.
