Have you ever noticed the '8%vol' label on wine bottles? Many people might assume it represents the wine's alcohol content, thinking 8%vol means 8°. But the truth is not that simple. In reality, 8%vol means that every 100 milliliters of wine contains 8 milliliters of pure alcohol. This reveals that the relationship between the label and the actual alcohol content is not as straightforward as we thought. Let's do a quick calculation: a 500 milliliter bottle of 8%vol wine contains approximately the same amount of pure alcohol as 100 milliliters of 40° wine. This might come as a surprise, as it turns out that the wine we drink regularly contains a significant amount of alcohol.
