Alcohol by volume, measured as a percentage of the total volume, such as 7.5 percent; the higher the percentage, the stronger the beer; wine is usually 10-14 percent abv, but spirits are measured by "proof," an older method not based on volume; for example, 100 percent proof rum contains 50 percent alcohol by volume.

Alcohol by volume. This is a measurement of the percent of alcohol present in a volume of liquid. To obtain this number take the original gravity and subtract the final gravity then multiply the answer by 131.25. One pound of fermentable sugar is approximately equal to 1% ABV in a 5 gallon batch. ABV = ABW x 1.25.
