12% alcohol by volume

A beverage with 12% alcohol by volume (ABV) means that 12% of the liquid’s total volume is pure alcohol. For example, in a 750 ml bottle, about 90 ml is alcohol, roughly equivalent to a standard shot. This measurement helps compare the strength of different drinks; higher ABV indicates a more potent beverage. It's a common level for many wines and some stronger beers, offering a balance of flavor and alcohol content. ABV provides a clear understanding of how much alcohol you'll consume, aiding in responsible drinking and moderation.
