Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 4.83g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.5 teaspoons of cooking wine
  2. 1 teaspoon of cooking wine = 4.83g
  3. 0.5 × 4.83 = 2.42g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 2.42 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.09 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 spoon 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.
