The list

Twenty-five values

By Dwight Davis, Founder

On this page11
50 millilitres to 3 litres. With gaps that are not arbitrary.

The list as printed

3 litres, 2.25, 1.8, 1.5, 1 litre, then 750, 720, 700, 620, 600, 568, 550, 500, 473, 375, 360, 355, 330, 300, 250, 200, 187, 180, 100 and 50 millilitres.

The metric wine family

750, 375 and 187 millilitres, which are the full, half and quarter bottle. Plus 1.5 litres, the magnum, and 3 litres above it.

The imperial survivors

568 millilitres is an imperial pint and 1.8 litres is close to a US half-gallon. Both are on the list because somebody was already using them.

The US customary pair

473 and 355 millilitres, which are 16 and 12 fluid ounces. Both entered the list in a 2020 amendment, and both are why a US customary shelf meets this rule at all.

And the single-serve cluster

330, 300, 250, 200, 180, 100 and 50 millilitres. Seven values inside a 280 millilitre range, which is where the list is densest.

The spacing tightens as the volume falls

Between 1 litre and 3 there are four values. Between 50 and 375 millilitres there are eight. Small containers have more choices.

Above 3 litres the rule changes shape

Wine may be bottled in containers of 4 litres or larger if filled and labeled in quantities of even litres. So 4, 5, 6 and so on.

Which leaves nothing between 3 and 4 litres

A real discontinuity. 3 litres is authorized, 4 is authorized, and 3.5 is neither on the list nor an even litre.

And nothing below 50 millilitres

The list starts there, so a sample or a miniature smaller than 50 millilitres has no authorized quantity.

Which is the practical use of the list

Read it before designing a format. A quantity that is not on it, and is not an even litre above 4, is a quantity you cannot label as the fill.

References

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.
