French wine pours: 15 cL (half-glass) or 25 cL; a European spirits shot = 4 cL (40 mL). EU Packaging Directive mandates cL or mL labelling on all pre-packaged beverages. 1 cL = 0.01 L = 10 mL.
About Firkins
A firkin (fir) ≈ 34.07 L (9 US gallons) - the most common cask for British real-ale delivery (9 imperial gallons = 40.91 L). A busy pub cellar cycles through several firkins per week. Craft breweries stage 'firkin tappings' of limited experimental ales. The name comes from Middle Dutch 'vierdekijn' (little fourth), as a firkin was one quarter of a barrel. 1 fir = 9 US gal ≈ 34.07 L.
