プルーフ(酒類)

定義

アルコール度数を表す指標。米国方式ではプルーフはアルコール度数(ABV)のちょうど2倍に等しい。

解説

A spirit labeled 80 proof is 40% ABV—the standard for most vodkas, gins, and whiskeys. The UK historically defined 100 proof as the minimum concentration at which gunpowder soaked in spirit would still ignite (~57.15% ABV). The US simplified this in the 19th century to the 2x ABV definition. The EU and most countries now use ABV percentage exclusively.
