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.
To compare the alcohol content, we need to look at the alcohol by volume (ABV). Three pints of beer at 4% ABV contain about 1.2 liters of beer, which translates to approximately 0.48 liters of pure alcohol. A standard bottle of wine (750 ml) at 12% ABV contains about 0.09 liters of pure alcohol. Thus, three pints of beer have significantly more alcohol than one bottle of wine.
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
To calculate the number of units in a 13 percent bottle of dry white wine, you can use the formula: units = (ABV% × volume in ml) ÷ 1000. A standard 750 ml bottle of wine at 13% ABV would contain approximately 9.75 units of alcohol (13 × 750 ÷ 1000 = 9.75). Therefore, a 750 ml bottle of 13% dry white wine has about 9.75 units.
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.
A standard bottle of Smirnoff Ice, which is typically 330ml and has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of around 5%, contains approximately 1.65 alcohol units. In the UK, one unit of alcohol is defined as 10ml of pure alcohol. Therefore, to calculate the total units, you multiply the volume (in liters) by the ABV and then by 10.
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.
