Bottle (btl)
Bottle (btl) :
A unit of volume. Like actual bottles, this unit varies according to the nature of the contents. For a long time in the U.S., a bottle of milk was 1 quart (1/4 gallon or 946.36 milliliters), a bottle of whiskey was 1 fifth (1/5 gallon or 757.1 milliliters), and a bottle of champagne was 2/3 quart (1/6 gallon or 630.91 milliliters). In the British Empire, a common bottle size was 2/3 Imperial quart (1/6 gallon or 757.68 milliliters), a unit known as the reputed quart. Today wine is customarily sold in bottles containing 750 milliliters (about 25.3605 U.S. fluid ounces or 26.3963 British Imperial fluid ounces). See also: Quart [2]. Other countries have traditional units of about this size. For example, the Russian boutylka contains 768.95 milliliters
