About milliliters and centiliters
A centiliter is 10 milliliters, so divide ml by 10 to get cl. 750 ml is 75 cl, 330 ml is 33 cl and 40 ml is 4 cl.
Centiliters are common on drink labels in Europe, where a wine bottle often says 75 cl and a can 33 cl, and in European cocktail recipes. Recipes from elsewhere usually use ml or fluid ounces, so converting keeps a drink in balance.
Examples
- 40 ml (a 4 cl pour, common in European bars) is 4 cl
- 330 ml (a drink can) is 33 cl
- 700 ml (a standard spirits bottle in Europe) is 70 cl
- 750 ml (a wine bottle) is 75 cl
