About these units

Nebuchadnezzar (nebuch)

Cooking & barCurrent unit

15 liters, twenty standard wine bottles.

Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king of the Old Testament, gives his name to a 15 liter bottle, equal to twenty standard 750 mL bottles. Wikipedia places it above the Balthazar, also called Belshazzar, at 12 liters, and below the Melchior at 18 liters.

The name belongs to the playful series of biblical labels used mainly for Champagne, though the sources consulted do not say when or by whom it was first applied. Because big bottles are hard to riddle, producers commonly fill them by transfer from smaller ones, which some drinkers consider a drawback. The size is equivalent to roughly 507 US fluid ounces, or about 3.3 US gallons.

1 nebuchadnezzar = 15 liters (exactly).

Liter (L)

Metric (SI)Current unit

One cubic decimeter (1,000 cm³). The everyday metric unit of volume for drinks, fuel and cooking.

The liter was born in revolutionary France. In 1795 it was introduced as a republican unit and defined as one cubic decimeter, while the gram was tied to a cubic centimeter of water. The name comes from the older French litron, itself descended from a Byzantine Greek unit of weight, not volume. A small revision of the decimeter in 1798 left the first liter about 1.000974 of today's cubic decimeter, and in 1879 the international metric authorities adopted the liter with the symbol l.

The liter then took a strange detour. In 1901 it was redefined as the space taken up by one kilogram of pure water at its densest, which made it about 1.000028 cubic decimeters, and that muddled definition lasted until 1964, when it was restored to exactly one cubic decimeter. A capital L was added as an alternative symbol in 1979 because a lowercase l is easy to mistake for the digit 1, and NIST says L is the symbol to use in the United States. A liter of water is close to a kilogram, which is why a one-liter bottle feels like a kilo in the hand.

The liter is the reference unit for volume on this site.
