Alcohol by Volume'
Alcohol premixed spirits in a can has only up to 5.5-7.5% ABV whilst a bottle of unmixed spirits is definitely above 20% ABV.
It is the percentage of alcohol in an alcoholic beverage, expressed volumetrically. If you have a 1-liter bottle of liquor whose ABV is 40 percent, the bottle contains 400 ml of pure ethanol.
Using a hydrometer, the specific gravity (SG) of the wine is measured before and after fermentation. The numbers are then used in the following formula to calculate Alcohol By Volume. ABV = (initial SG - final SG) / 7.36
A single shot of any liquor that is at least 40% ABV will contain the same amount of ethanol as in one serving (a pint or bottle) of 5% ABV beer or more.
The ABV of corona extra is 4.6%. Standard for a beer.
A bottle will usually state it's alcohol by volume (ABV) as "proof" . Proof is double what the percentage of alcohol is. So, a bottle of 60 proof spirits would be 30% alcohol by volume. The highest percentage alcohol in a spirit that I've seen is 151 proof, and that was a bottle of rum.
Proofing on UK spirits was changed to ABV in 1980 so any bottle with 70% proof is pre-1980.
ABV - TV station - was created on 1956-11-19.
