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.
