Comment on Pint of wine anyone? UK looks to bring back ‘silly measure’
somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 5 months agoThere are plenty of variable thickness bottles for other kinds of alcohol. It still has to hold 750ml of liquid if that is the volume of the spirit. It would be easier to water things than pass off an incorrect volume.

Yeah, exactly, so volume stays the same and designs can vary. That makes it easier for people to compare because it’s 750ml vs 750ml, instead of both design and volume changing by small amounts.
You can’t tell the internal volume of something based on its external dimensions, other than maximum potential size.
