Wine labels tell you the ABV, but almost nobody does the maths at the table. I didn’t either, until I started logging what I drank and realised how much the size of the glass and the strength of the wine change the numbers.

The short answer: a standard 750ml bottle of wine at 13.5% ABV contains 10 UK units, according to the NHS. At 12% it is 9 units, and at 14.5% it is about 11. To work out any wine, multiply the volume in millilitres by the ABV and divide by 1,000.
