I'v noticed a bottle of wine at 75cl has a 11% Vol content but it's bigger version at 150cl is also 11% Vol. Does this meen the bigger bottle is weaker in strenth than the smaller bottle per Volume?

The liquid (wine/spirit) contains 11% alcohol.
If you had 100cl of it the 11cl would be alcohol - 100 gallons then 11 gallons would be alcohol. As it is 11% volume if you had a 50ml measure it would have 5.5ml alcohol but still 11% volume.
The alcohol is thoroughly mixed together, you dont get the alcohol sitting at the bottom so that when you pour it out you get none till the end which would be pure.
Each measure poured is 11% because it is a 'volume' content.

It's been answered correctly a number of times already.
I just want to know who the twit is that's giving all the correct answers a thumbs down. WTF???
Either way, it's clear that you don't understand ratios. 11% by volume means that in a 75cl bottle, 11% of the wine is alcohol...or 8.25cl. The rest of the contents are not. 11% of a 150cl bottle contains 16.5cl of alcohol...which is still 11% of the total volume.

Alcohol amounts are declared by volume as the specific gravity of water is approx. 1 gram per millilitre or cc, depending on temperature (all fluids expand when they heat up).Alcohol has a specific gravity of 0.8 grammes per ml or cc, again depending on temperature. It is basically weight vs. volume. For example a 70 cl bottle of spirit at 50% by vol. will be half full of pure alcohol in volume terms however the bottle would contain 280 grammes of pure alcohol and 350 grammes of water and other matter

As no one can really answer your question properly i think i will. The full strength of alcohol is 100% that is used to take off wallpaper,sterilise etc, If anyone were to drink it they would be in trouble.11% alcohol means its 11% strength out of 100% so no matter how much you drink the volume of alcohol will still be 11%. If you were to drink say a few shots of a drink that contained 80% volume you would be drunk lot quicker. Higher the % more Strength no matter the size of the bottle.

11% Vol means that there is 11% of alcohol in any amount of that liquid. The actual volume of liquid (75cl or 150cl) makes no difference.

This reminds me of an old boy that used to drink in my pub. He would insist that as his Light Ale bottle said 3.4% that by the time he had had 6 bottles he had drunk 20.4% alcohol. Fortunately he would leave soon after that and i could quietly bang my head against the wall for a few minutes.
The measurement is ABV which is alcohol by volume = the amoun of alcohol by percentage in any given volume

It's simple, it's just as the bottle says, 11% of the stuff is alcohol.

No it means that 11% of the bottle is alcohol.
However much you drink of the bottle, you will always be consuming 11& alchohol.
Drinks with a higher percentage of alcohol will contain more and will be stonger.

It means that for every 100 cl, 11 of them are alcohol. The size of the bottle doesn't change that ratio.

this means that 11% of the liquid contained in the bottle is pure ethyl alcohol. This percentage will not change no matter how big the container is.
