Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 464g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 0.5 pints of cooking wine
1 pint of cooking wine = 464g
0.5 × 464 = 232g
Convert grams to ounces: 232 ÷ 28.3495 = 8.18 oz

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