Seven percent

Seven percent

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page13
"not less than 7 percent and not more than 24 percent of alcohol by volume."

The definition names this category

Paragraph (2) of the wine definition covers other alcoholic beverages made in the manner of wine, and the list includes vermouth, cider, perry and sake by name.

With a condition attached to all of them

Only if for nonindustrial use and containing not less than 7 percent and not more than 24 percent of alcohol by volume.

So the category does not decide it

Being a cider does not make a product wine under this part. Being a cider at 7 percent or more does.

And paragraph (1) carries the same range

For wine as defined in the Revenue Act of 1918, also 7 to 24 percent and also only for nonindustrial use.

There is a ceiling as well as a floor

Not more than 24 percent. A fortified product above that is outside the definition from the other direction.

Which means part 4 governs a band

7 to 24 percent alcohol by volume, nonindustrial use. Outside the band, a different labeling regime applies and this property does not describe it.

And the standards of fill live inside part 4

So they bind a product in the band and do not reach one outside it. A container size rule switched by an alcohol content.

For mead that is usually academic

Most mead is comfortably inside the band, so the list applies and the bottle choice is constrained.

For cider it is usually live

A great deal of commercial hard cider is under 7 percent, which takes it out of part 4 and out of the standards of fill.

And the band is about the finished product

Not the must, not the ferment partway through. The alcohol by volume that matters is the one in the bottle, which is known late in the process and after the glass is usually ordered.

Which is why it belongs in the recipe decision

A target alcohol content is a formulation choice with a packaging consequence, and the consequence is a list of twenty-five numbers.

Settle it before buying glass

Because the answer changes which of our fourteen containers are usable as a labeled fill, and we cannot settle it for you.

27 CFR 4.10, definition of wine. Paragraph (2): "Other alcoholic beverages not so defined, but made in the manner of wine, including sparkling and carbonated wine, wine made from condensed grape must, wine made from other agricultural products than the juice of sound, ripe grapes, imitation wine, compounds sold as wine, vermouth, cider, perry, and sake, only if for nonindustrial use and containing not less than 7 percent and not more than 24 percent of alcohol by volume." Paragraph (1) applies the same 7 to 24 percent range to wine as defined in sections 610 and 617 of the Revenue Act of 1918. law.cornell.edu
27 CFR 4.72(a), authorized standards of fill, in the order printed: 3 liters, 2.25 liters, 1.8 liters, 1.5 liters, 1 liter, 750 milliliters, 720 milliliters, 700 milliliters, 620 milliliters, 600 milliliters, 568 milliliters, 550 milliliters, 500 milliliters, 473 milliliters, 375 milliliters, 360 milliliters, 355 milliliters, 330 milliliters, 300 milliliters, 250 milliliters, 200 milliliters, 187 milliliters, 180 milliliters, 100 milliliters, 50 milliliters. The section also provides that "Wine may be bottled or packed in containers of 4 liters or larger if the containers are filled and labeled in quantities of even liters (4 liters, 5 liters, 6 liters, etc.)", and that "The tolerances in fill are the same as are allowed by Sec. 4.37 in respect to statement of net contents on labels." law.cornell.edu
Written from 27 CFR 4.72 and 4.10 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. The standards of fill regulate the quantity bottled rather than the bottle, so a non-standard container filled to a standard quantity is awkward rather than prohibited. Whether part 4 applies at all turns on the alcohol content of the product, which is not something a container catalog knows. Nothing here addresses bonded premises, formula approval, label approval, excise tax, net contents formatting, or state law. This catalog holds no crown cap, swing top, cork or champagne hood, so a sparkling product cannot be closed from it.
