What amount of wine is equivalent to 1/2 oz of pure alcohol?

  1. 6 oz

  2. 8 oz

  3. 5 oz

  4. 4 oz

The correct answer is: 5 oz

To determine the amount of wine that is equivalent to 1/2 oz of pure alcohol, it's important to understand the alcohol content in different types of wine. Most wines typically contain around 12-15% alcohol by volume (ABV). If we take 5 oz of wine with approximately 12% ABV as an example, we can calculate the amount of pure alcohol it contains. For 5 oz of wine, the calculation for the amount of pure alcohol is as follows: 5 oz x 0.12 (12% ABV) = 0.6 oz of pure alcohol. Since 0.6 oz of pure alcohol is slightly more than 1/2 oz, this indicates that 5 oz of wine is indeed equivalent to about 1/2 oz of pure alcohol, as wines can vary in their alcohol percentages. Analyzing the other choices: 6 oz, 8 oz, and 4 oz, we would find that 6 oz of wine at the same ABV would yield about 0.72 oz of alcohol, 8 oz would equate to 0.96 oz, and 4 oz would yield 0.48 oz. Thus, 5 oz is the most accurate
