NIAAA defines a standard drink as any beverage with 0.6 fl oz or 14 grams of pure alcohol. 750 ml is about 25.4 fl oz (our calculation).
Why your bottle may differ
The numbers assume the typical strength in the table. A stronger bottle holds more standard drinks, and a weaker one holds fewer. NIAAA advises checking the container label for the real alcohol content. Our calculation: drinks = 750 ml x ABV x 0.789 g/ml / 14 g, so a 15% wine would be about 6.3 drinks.
Standard drinks are a measuring unit, not a recommended serving. Use our bottle guide or the standard drink calculator for your exact bottle. If you have questions about how alcohol affects your health, ask a doctor.
