About these units

US Fluid Ounce (fl oz)

US customaryCurrent unit

One 128th of a US gallon, 29.5735 mL. Not the same as the weight ounce, and about 4% larger than the imperial fluid ounce.

Fluid ounce began as an attempt to link volume to weight: the volume occupied by one ounce of some substance, such as wine in England or water in Scotland. Definitions varied by region and by liquid. When Britain defined its imperial gallon in 1824 as the space of ten pounds of water, the imperial fluid ounce came out so that an ounce of water weighs about one avoirdupois ounce. The US fluid ounce followed a different path and comes from the older wine gallon.

The US fluid ounce is exactly 1/128 of a US gallon, 29.5735295625 milliliters, about 4 percent bigger than the imperial one at 28.4130625 milliliters. American nutrition labels use yet another figure, treating one fluid ounce as 30 milliliters, a convenient rounding for serving sizes. The name is a trap, because a fluid ounce measures space while a weight ounce measures mass. A US fluid ounce of water weighs a bit more than an ounce of weight, while a fluid ounce of honey weighs considerably more.

1 US fluid ounce = 0.02957352956 liters (approximately).

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).
