Formula and Step-by-Step
pints × 464g/pt ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
Start with 9.78 pints of cooking wine
1 pint of cooking wine = 464g
9.78 × 464 = 4,537.92g
Convert grams to pounds: 4,537.92 ÷ 453.592 = 10.00 lb
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.

The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
About 10.00 lb, based on cooking wine having a density of 232g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of pints by 464 (grams per pint for cooking wine), then divide by 453.592 to convert grams to pounds. For 9.78 pints: 9.78 × 464 = 4,537.92g, then 4,537.92 ÷ 453.592 = 10.00 lb.
For the most accurate results, weigh cooking wine on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of cooking wine changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 10.00 lb × 453.592 = 4,537.92g, then 4,537.92g ÷ 464 = 9.78 pints. Or use the Pounds to Pints converter.
