Alcohol by volume … is the standard measure of how much alcohol (ethanol) is contained in a given volume of an alcoholic beverage, expressed as a volume percent. That is, how many milliliters of pure ethanol in 100 milliliters of liquid, at 68 °F (20 °C). Temperature is relevant because it influences alcohol density: alcohol is "lighter" when warm and "heavier" when cold. 2, record 2, English, - alcoholic%20strength%20by%20volume

¿Cómo se mide el contenido de alcohol en la cerveza? El contenido alcohólico es la forma en la que la mayoría de nosotros percibimos la fuerza de la cerveza y una de las características más fáciles de apreciar. Para medir el alcohol existen dos formas distintas: según el peso y según el volúmen. En Europa, como en la Argentina se mide el contenido según el volumen, por eso en las etiquetas aparecen los grados de alcohol, seguidos de " % vol. ". 2, record 3, Spanish, - contenido%20de%20alcohol
