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 Gallon (gal)
Exactly 231 cubic inches or 3.785411784 liters (128 US fluid ounces). About 17% smaller than the imperial gallon.
The US gallon is a survivor of English wine trade. Around 1706, a statute in Queen Anne's reign fixed the wine gallon at exactly 231 cubic inches, settling confusion among the competing gallons for wine, ale and corn. British colonies in North America used that wine gallon, and in 1824 Britain replaced all its gallons with a new imperial one while the United States kept the old measure. It was adopted as the legal US standard in 1836 and is still defined as exactly 231 cubic inches, or 3.785411784 liters.
That makes the US gallon about 17 percent smaller than the imperial gallon, a difference that explains why American and British fuel-economy figures cannot be compared directly. Everyday uses are milk jugs, paint cans and gasoline pumps. One gallon divides evenly into four quarts, eight pints, sixteen cups and 128 fluid ounces. A gallon of water weighs a little over 8 pounds, an easy figure to remember when loading a car with water jugs.
1 US gallon = 3.785411784 liters (exactly).
