On Alcohol, Alcoholic Strength and Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
Alcoholic strength is the term used to denote the measure of the amount of ethyl alcohol (ethanol) in solutions such as beer, cider, kombucha, malt-beverages, RTD cocktail mixes, wines and spirits/liqueurs. It may be reported as percent by mass of solution (% weight/weight – w/w or mass/mass m/m) or as percent by volume (% volume/volume – v/v). These values are expressed at either 60 °F (15.56 °C) or at 20 °C (68 °F) depending on country, regulatory authority or other local requirements.
