How many ounces is 75 cl?

A 75 cl bottle of wine holds 25.36 US fluid ounces. A centilitre is a hundredth of a litre, or 10 ml, and a US fluid ounce is about 29.5735 ml[1]. So you multiply the centilitres by 10 and divide by 29.5735: ounces = cl × 10 ÷ 29.5735.

The UK fluid ounce is smaller. British law defines it as a twentieth of a pint, and the pint as 0.56826125 of a litre[2], which makes one UK fluid ounce 28.4131 ml. In those ounces, 75 cl comes to 26.4. The Ounce type switch offers US and UK / Imperial, and it starts on US because American labels and recipes give volumes in US ounces.

If the label shows millilitres instead, the ml to oz converter takes the number as it is, and the centilitres to litres converter turns centilitres into litres.

How many ounces are in a 70 cl bottle?

A 70 cl bottle of whisky or gin holds 23.67 US fluid ounces, and a 750 ml bottle holds 25.36 US fluid ounces. American rules list 25 permitted bottle sizes for distilled spirits, from 50 mL to 3.75 litres, and both 700 mL and 750 mL are among them[3], so the same whisky can stand on a US shelf in either bottle.

How many ounces is a UK pub measure?

The NHS lists a single small shot of spirits as 25 ml, a large single measure as 35 ml, a small glass of wine as 125 ml and a bottle of lager as 330 ml[4]. The table gives those sizes in centilitres and in both kinds of ounce. For an American shot measured in ounces, the oz to cl converter works the other way.

Which entries does this converter accept?

The field accepts and converts each of these entries, so there is nothing to tidy up before you paste. The table shows what the converter does with each one, and the converter itself worked out the results.
What you typeWhat the converter showsNote
7525.36 US fl ozThe field reads a plain number as centilitres.
75cl25.36 US fl ozThe field recognises the unit copied from a label with the number, even with no space.
750 ml25.36 US fl ozThe field turns millilitres into 75 cl and says so under the field.
0.7 l23.67 US fl ozLitres become 70 cl, again with a note under the field.
37.512.68 US fl ozThe point is the decimal separator, as in English-language writing.
1,000338.14 US fl ozA comma before three digits groups thousands, so the field reads one thousand. Under the field you will see the hint: Read as 1000. If you meant 1, type 1.
1.5000.51 US fl ozA single point is always read as a decimal point, so the field works with 1.5 cl. Under the field you will see the hint: Read as 1.5. If you meant 1500, type 1500.
3/40.25 US fl ozThe field reads a fraction with a slash as three quarters of a centilitre.

Frequently asked questions about centilitres and ounces

How many 25 ml shots are in a 70 cl bottle?

28, because 70 cl is 700 ml and 700 ÷ 25 = 28. With the American 1.5 fl oz shot, which is 4.44 cl, the same bottle gives just under 16 shots.

Is 70 cl the same as 750 ml?

No. 70 cl is 700 ml, so a 750 ml bottle holds 5 cl more, which is 1.69 US fluid ounces.

Is 70 cl 24 ounces?

Close, but not quite. 70 cl is 23.67 US fluid ounces, and a full 24 US fluid ounces would be 70.98 cl.
