Question about English (UK)
How do measure alcohol in drinks in English?
In Spanish we use the word 'degree'. We'd say something like 'This wine has 14 degrees of alcohol', but I imagine that's not how you'd say it.

I think you mean alcohol by volume, or ABV. So if a wine has 14% ABV, it is 14% alcohol. A similar concept is “proof”, which is double ABV. This is typically only used for spirits. A vodka that is 80-proof is 40% ABV.

@P87 well there's two ways if you want to know how much liquid is in an alcohol bottle, you would say for an example 5ml(5 millilitres)
But if you want to know how much alcohol is in the liquid bottle, you would say for example 5%
to find out the volume of the alcohol percentage.
