Why the total changes
Wine labels can show different ABVs, and bottle formats can range from smaller bottles to magnums. The category, grape, sweetness, colour, or price does not establish the alcohol total. Use the specific volume and ABV on the bottle. Country reference amounts also differ; compare them on alcohol units by country.
Calculate your exact bottle
Multiply the bottle volume in ml by ABV as a decimal and by 0.789 to estimate pure alcohol grams. The standard drinks per container calculator does this for any bottle size and lets you select the appropriate local reference. For alcohol in a single pour, use the standard drinks calculator.

Alcohol and safety
Do not use standard-drink counts or online BAC estimates to decide whether to drive, operate equipment, or make a medical or legal decision. If alcohol is involved, arrange a sober way home.
