Formula and Step-by-Step

liters × 980.61g/L ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 2 liters of cooking wine
  2. 1 liter of cooking wine = 980.61g
  3. 2 × 980.61 = 1,961.21g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 1,961.21 ÷ 28.3495 = 69.18 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.
