How many 750ml bottles of wine can you make out of 1 Gallon?

Question

I'm thinking of having a go at home brew for christmas but not sure if it's going to be any cheaper than actually going to tesco and buying the wine, the kit is £19.99 plus postage at £2.95 and makes one gallon of wine but how many standard size bottles will i get out of this? Will it be worth it?

Answer 1

One 750 ml bottle is called a "fifth" because it's (approximately) a fifth of a gallon. However, in homebrewing, there are a number of steps that reduce your total volume in the end. Intermediate steps include siphoning the clarified wine as it's fermenting into a secondary container. This leaves behind most of the sediment, but also a small portion of the wine (called "racking"). After secondary fermentation, you'll either rack it again or bottle. Again, you're siphoning off of the sediment ("lees") and will take away less than all of it. You can reliably expect between 4 and 4 1/2 bottles when you're done.

The problem comes from the definitions of the British Gallon.. It kept changing. For instance, a gallon was the volume of eight pounds of wheat. But in 1707 Parliament defined the British Wine Gallon as exactly 231 cubic inches. And this is what the Americans use to this day, for the Gallon. The colonies used this measurement for liquids and a dry gallon which was 1/6 larger for their dry measurements. Then In about 1824, the British Parliament created the Imperial gallon which was designed to hold exactly 10 pounds of water under certain specified conditions. As Americans were not British any more, they rejected the new Imperial Gallon. But the British made a lot of bottles, which they shipped all over the world, including the newly formed USofA. One of these was a bottle that was one twelfth of two Imperial gallons, or 26 2/3rds Imperial ounces. This bottle was found to be about 1/5 of the American Gallon. 1 fifth is 25.6 fluid ounces or 757.08 ml. The Americans kept this bottle, and started making it themselves. But they only used it for spirits. And the British stopped using their original bottle, and we only have the Fifth left.

Answer 5

The same reason why we have 2 liter bottles of soda and not half-gallon bottles. The beverage industry was one of the few areas where the metric system took hold about 30 years ago, because they created their own standards instead of trying to adapt to the customary units. So instead of coming up with a 757ml bottle, they just rounded down and we are all used to the famous liquor sizes: 750ml, 1 liter, 1.75 liter which is close to the old: fifth, quart, and half-gallon.

£23 for the homebrew and if you buy half decent wine, it will cost you more. I suppose making wine from scratch is out of the question as you can produce loads cheaply, but too late for Christmas. You would get about six bottles and to tell you the truth I would take the Tesco option every time and no hassle and fecking about. Cheers

Answer 9

1 gallon = 8 pints, 1 pint = 568 ml so just over 6

Answer 10

About 6 bottles but is it worth it when you think of the offers you get at this time of year.Least you know the wine will be drinkable! Having said that if you want the fun of making your own wine,go for it and enjoy!
