Spanish term or phrase: 2 decilitros de vino Pedro Ximenez
Tengo una receta y en los ingredientes pone "2 decilitros de vino Pedro Ximenez" entre otras cosas.

¿Lo dejo como deciliter? ¿O como lo traduzco?

Gracias de antemano.

MDI-IDM: 10:36pm Oct 30, 2007: perdón, se me escapó, llaman "vino" al jerez

depende del público

Explanation:
Para Gran Bretaña no sé, pero si es para América del Norte, debe de apracer en tazas (1 taza = 236 mL) y cucharas y cucharitas. Esta cantidad de 2 decilitros iguala a "3/4 cup plus 1 1/2 Tablespoons".

dos vasos

Explanation:
Since a standard wineglass holds 1 dl (so you should get 7 1/5 glasses from a full bottle, in France, at least - in Switzerland I think they still have 7 dl bottles) so the receipe requires two glasses - 'dos vasos'. Much more appropriate than measuring wine by the 'cup'.

neutral Salloz: Un litro es un decímetro cúbico. Esas copas están muy pequeñas... ;)
36 mins
neutral GoodWords: Poughkeepsie asked for a translation into English. I hope you aren't suggesting "dos vasos" as an English translation! In any case, it would lead to confusion since a "cup" as a cooking measure is usually considered to be 250 mL.
