Definition: Abv is a unit of alcohol content for wine and beer which is defined as 0.5% by volume. The term "abv" is used in the industry to indicate the alcoholic content in a product, such as a drink or a bottle of wine. It is commonly used in international trade agreements, especially those between countries that use different tax systems. The word 'abv' has been around for some time but was more specifically defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1974 to indicate alcohol content in alcoholic beverages, rather than its volume or volume percentage. However, it still seems to be used commonly due to the high number of products that have this label. The term is often used with reference to wine and beer but can also be applied to other types of drink as well. It is considered a measure of alcohol content because it measures how much water is consumed by an alcoholic beverage to make its volume (volume).
