ABV

ABV, or Alcohol by Volume, is a standard measure of how much alcohol is present in a beverage, expressed as a percentage of the total liquid. For example, if a bottle of wine has an ABV of 12%, it means that 12% of the liquid's volume is pure alcohol. This measurement helps consumers understand the strength of an alcoholic drink, with higher ABV indicating a stronger beverage. ABV is used worldwide to compare the alcohol content across different drinks, such as beers, wines, and spirits.
