Nip (UK)6.39 US fl oz6.66 imp oz189.42 mL13 of an Imperial pint. Short for Nipperkin. Strong ale and Barley wine were usually bottled in nips[3] Metric measurement glasses and containers usually round up to a metric half pint of 200 mL (7 imp oz).

small glass (EU)9.29 US fl oz9.67 imp oz275 mL
Gill of Beer (UK)9.6 US fl oz10 imp oz284 mL12 Imperial pint. A gill of beer was a customary measure equal to half an imperial pint (10 imperial fluid ounces or 280 millilitres) used in rural parts of England.[4] It is a holdover from when spirits, wines and brandies, ale, and beer all had different standard measures of capacity. An Ale Gill (based on the Ale gallon) and a Beer Gill (based on the Beer gallon) were different sizes until standardized as Ale / Beer gallons in 1688, Beer gallons in 1803, and Imperial gallons in 1824.
Half (imp.)9.6 US fl oz10 imp oz284 mL12 Imperial pint. Also called a "glass" in the UK and Ireland. Metric-measure glasses usually round down to 280 mL or up to 285 mL.

Stubby (imp.)11.53 US fl oz12 imp oz341 mL35 of an imperial pint. A short-necked, thick-walled beer bottle commonly found in Canada and South Africa. It was rounded down to 340 mL after metrication. It has been replaced by the EU standard long-necked 330 mL bottle.
bottle (US)12 US fl oz12.49 imp oz355 mL34 US pint. American breweries fluctuated between 11 and 13 ounces before gradually standardizing on a median 12 ounces after World War 2. The American Twelfth (10.66 US oz [315 mL], or 112 a US gallon), American Commercial Pint (12.8 US fl oz [378 mL], or 110 a US gallon) / British Reputed Pint (13.33 imp oz [378 mL], or 112 an Imperial gallon), and Canadian "stubby" bottle (12 imp oz [341 mL]) may have been factors.
Stubbie (AUS)12.68 US fl oz13.2 imp oz375mLA beer bottle that is half the capacity of a 750 mL champagne bottle. Reused champagne punts were used in the 19th century to ship lager beer to Australia, establishing it as the beer "quart". When metrication was introduced in the 1970s, the Reputed Pint (13.33 imp oz [378 mL]) and Imperial Pint (20 imp oz [568 mL]) were replaced with the 375 mL half bottle.
Schooner (UK)12.8 US fl oz13.33 imp oz378.84 mL23 of an imperial pint. Metric measurement glasses usually round up to 380 mL (13.374 or ≈13.4 imp oz).

Beer bottles in the UK were rounded down to 550 mL after standard metrication was introduced in 1995, later to be manditorily changed to 500 mL by January 1, 2000. After December 31, 1999, the imperial pint was no longer considered a legal measure except for draught beer and milk in reusable pint and quart bottles.
Sixth (US)22 US fl oz1.14 imp pt651 mL16 US gallon, rounded up from 21.3 US fl oz Also called a "bomber" or a "double deuce" (from the two #2s, or "deuces", in its volume). Mostly replaced by the 40 US fl oz bottle by the late 1980s, but still used by some breweries for beer and malt liquor. Metric measure containers are rounded down to 650 mL. The US 23-ounce beer glass holds a sixth of beer, plus the head.

Reputed Pint (UK)-13.3 imp oz.378 mLThe "Reputed Pint" (23 Imperial pint or 112 Imperial gallon) was devised to split a standard gallon into twelve small bottles. Originally it was based on the British Wine gallon, which was later adopted by the United States as their standard fluid gallon. This made a Wine Gallon "Reputed Pint" equivalent to 23 US liquid pint (10.66 US fluid oz.), 11.09 imp. oz, or 315 mL. Although the Imperial system was introduced in 1824, bottles of ale or beer were still sold in Reputed Pints (13.3 imperial oz) but were now based on the Imperial gallon (based on the British Ale Gallon). It was later replaced by the Imperial Pint (20 imp oz / 568 ml) in the 20th century.

Originally it was based on the British Wine gallon, which was later adopted by the United States as their standard fluid gallon. When the Imperial system was introduced in 1824, measures of wine or liquor were still sold in either Reputed Quarts (26.6 imp oz.) or Imperial Quarts (40 imp oz.). It was later replaced by the Imperial Quart (40 imp oz / 1136 ml) in the 20th century.

Half gallon (US)64 US fl oz66.61 Imp oz.1.89 LA half (12, or 0.5) of a US gallon. Replaced by the 1.75 L "metric half-gallon" in 1976.

The British Reputed Pint and Reputed Quart were used in Great Britain and throughout the Empire from the late 17th century until the early 20th century. Originally there were different standard gallons depending on the type of alcohol. That meant that the Reputed measures varied depending on which standard gallon was used. A Reputed Pint of beer was equal to 285 mL (1/2 an Ale Pint, or equivalent to 10 imperial oz. or 9.63 US oz.) and a Reputed Quart of wine was equal to 730 mL (3/4 of a Wine Quart, or equivalent to 25.69 Imp. oz. or 24.68 US fluid oz.). When the Imperial system was adopted in 1824, the fluid gallon was standardized on the old Ale Gallon (which had 160 fluid ounces). However, Reputed pints and quarts were still used by breweries and merchants, but measurements were now based on the Imperial system. There was still confusion about whether Reputed or Imperial measures was being used by the merchant, so eventually Imperial pints and quarts were made standard in the early 20th century.

The United States adopted the British Wine Gallon (which had 128 fluid ounces) as standard. The laws concerning the production and sale of alcohol stated that it had to be sold in portions of a gallon for tax purposes. A standard case of bottled beer, wine or liquor had to be equal to two gallons and bottles came in half-dozens and dozens rather than fourths (quarts) and eighths (pints). There would be 24 small bottles (Twelfths of a US gallon) or 12 large bottles (Sixths of a US gallon) per case. The bottles were later increased in size (Tenths and Fifths of a US gallon) to be equivalent to British Reputed Pints and Quarts, allowing them to be interchangeable for export. The American liquor industry later referred to these measures as "Commercial Pints" (Tenths) and "Commercial Quarts" (Fifths).

The 750 mL Standard wine bottle was chosen because it was the standard French wine bottle once moulded glass bottles were available in the 19th century. Previously there was a roughly 730 mL limit to glass-blown bottles because that was the limit of a glassblower's lungs. The volume was rounded up to 750 mL and then was used as the base size for French wine containers, with all subdivisions and multiples figured from it. The rest of the world followed suit with equivalent customary measurement versions of their own (like the British Reputed Quart).

Following metrication in 1980, American still wines can also be sold in large multi-liter containers, but only in full liters. They are typically sold in glass demijohns or foil bag-in-box containers holding 4, 5, 7, 8, or 10 Liters.
