licores destilados con (grado alcohólico de) 80 grados proof Explanation: 1) CONSIDERACIONES TECNOLÓGICAS. Las características de los productos dependen de las materias primas y de los procedimientos de obtención. Como durante el envejecimiento en madera se produce una concentración debida a las “mermas”, antes de envasar hay que diluir hasta la graduación final deseada, pero teniendo en cuenta que siempre que se mezclan etanol y agua se da una contracción de volumen, que puede llegar a ser del 3,5 % (cuando hay otras sustancias presentes el grado de contracción puede variar). En la U.E., las etiquetas deben especificar la graduación como “% vol.”, aproximando al 0’5 más próximo. Los % vol. son idénticos a los grados Gay-Lussac (º G.L.), pero en otros paises se usan los grados ‘proof‘: **100 grados proof**-EE.UU. equivalen a 50 grados G.L. y **100 grados proof**-Reino Unido a 57'1 grados G.L.. http://www1.us.es/pautadatos/publico/personal/pdi/1103/2566/... 2)... diversas variedades de vinos y licores para embriagar ... y concentrado de los destilados desde que ...

bebidas alcohólicas de 40 grados Explanation: How Are Spirits Measured? Spirits are measured by alcohol content. Different scales are used in different countries. Most countries use alcohol by volume (ABV), also known as the Gay-Lussac system, which expresses alcohol content as a percentage of the total liquid volume of the beverage. A 40% ABV spirit contains 40% alcohol. In the United States, the proof scale of measurement is used, with the proof of a spirit being double the ABV. Thus a 40% ABV spirit is 80 proof. A degree symbol is customarily used when expressing proof. |
