abv – acronym for ‘alcohol-by-volume’ the most sensible of the various systems for measuring alcoholic strength, as the percentage of the volume of liquid that equates to pure alcohol. Most beers are in the range 3.5–6% abv; still wines 8–15% abv; fortified wines 17– 22% abv; and most spirits 35–50% abv.
I also carry a fairly substantial selection of stock with Abe Books, which can be purchased direct.
I have been writing about drinks since 2000, mainly for newspapers and magazines, and also through my blog, which is being updated alphabetically here (see below).
