About Deciliters
A deciliter (dL) = 0.1 L = 100 mL - the universal blood-test reporting unit: blood glucose in mg/dL, haemoglobin in g/dL, cholesterol in mg/dL, BAC in g/dL. Normal fasting glucose <100 mg/dL; dangerous BAC >0.3 g/dL. Also the primary volumetric cooking unit in Scandinavian recipes (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland). 1 dL = 0.1 L.
About Centiliters
A centiliter (cL) = 0.01 L = 10 mL. Standard small-drink unit on menus and bottle labels across continental Europe. 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.
