Generally speaking, wine weighs about 10lb per gallon on average - plus or minus.

Consumers consider a normal bottle at 750ml. There are 3.785L per gallon or about 5.05 bottles (750ml each). Therefore, each bottle's "wine weight" would be approximately 2lbs.

Add the to that the true weight value of the glass bottle, cork, capsule, label and the in-the-ballpark weight would be 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 lbs... however, one bottle can weigh as much as 3lbs by itself... not too common though.

On average, a case of wine weighs approximately 40lbs... 1/2 case would be close to 20lbs, etc, etc... this would be a good rule of thumb for shipping which would conservatively take into consideration all types of wine and bottles styles.

The weight would depend on a number of factors:

  • How thick are the glass bottles (Sparkling wine is under pressure and has thicker bottles than still wine)?
  • Is it a case of 6 or 12 bottles?
  • Is it a cardboard or wood case?

A very rough estimate would be:

A normal size wine bottle is 750 ml (¾ Litre). Litre water weighs 1Kg, so 750 ml wine is approximately 750g.

Add the weight of the bottle makes about 1Kg per bottle

6 bottles = 6 Kg

Plus a cardboard case ~½ Kg

Total 6.5 Kg. This is a very rough guesstimate.

I'm guessing you're asking about a fluid ounce (volume), since a dry ounce (weight) is, well, an ounce.

See this post:

How_much_does_a_fluid_ounce_of_water_weigh

Wine will weigh a bit less than water (it contains alcohol) but this may be close enough for you.

Between 3 and 4 pounds. Based on case weight of 35lbs to 48llbs. Sparkling wines are at the high end of that spectrum. That's because the bottles must be thicker and stronger to contain the pressure created by sparkling wines.

I would estimate it's weight to be 1.5 liters plus the weight of the bottle....

I measured the weight of a bottle of chardonnay wine, and an empty bottle of the same wine with the cork and foil. The difference was slightly over 1 lb 10 oz.
