ABOUT THIS TOOL
What it does & why it matters
Understanding what is really in the glass is part of responsible appreciation — and of smart collecting. Enter the alcohol by volume shown on the label and the amount in millilitres, and the tool computes the pure alcohol content and its equivalent in standard units. This is the same calculation behind every alcohol-warning label, made useful for the bottles you actually pour.

FAQ
Common questions
The answers collectors
most often ask.
One standard unit equals 10 millilitres of pure alcohol — the reference used in many countries to help people track consumption. Our figure follows that convention.
Yes. The same wine at the same ABV carries more alcohol in a larger pour. Enter the actual amount in the glass, not the bottle size, for a true picture.
Cask-strength bottlings and old high-proof expressions sit far above standard ABVs. Knowing the true alcohol content helps you serve, store, and enjoy them properly — and speak about them precisely.
