About these units
Nebuchadnezzar (nebuch)
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).

US Cup (cup)
One sixteenth of a US gallon, 236.588 mL (8 US fluid ounces). The standard US recipe cup.
Cups began as household drinking vessels, not scientific units, which is why they remain the messiest measures in the kitchen. The US customary cup was defined by slicing up the gallon: half a pint, or eight US fluid ounces, about 236.6 milliliters. Unlike the larger units, nobody ever fixed it to a physical vessel, so it exists only as a fraction of the gallon.
The customary cup is not the only American cup. For nutrition labels, US regulation defines a cup as exactly 240 milliliters, a rounder figure that sits slightly above the customary size. Packaged foods therefore list a serving in the legal cup while a measuring cup from the hardware store follows the customary definition. The gap is 3.4 milliliters, which hardly matters for soup but can matter in baking. Cup measures also hide the weight of dry ingredients, since a cup of sifted flour and a cup of packed flour differ substantially, which is why much of the world prefers grams.
1 US cup = 0.2365882365 liters (exactly).
