spirits ratings

Spirits ratings, such as ABV (Alcohol by Volume), indicate the alcohol content in a beverage. For example, a 40% ABV spirit contains 40% pure alcohol. Higher ABV generally means a stronger drink, while lower ABV indicates a milder one. These ratings help consumers understand the potency and strength of the spirit, guiding appropriate use and pairing. Other ratings or classifications may reflect quality, aging, or style, but ABV is the key measurement of alcohol content in spirits.
