Overdue thank you’s (on my part at least) to SDS, Terry, and, of course, Phil.

Pint of Wine. Interesting paper from Nottingham University (UK) on Volumes or Capacity. No mention of pints but the measure of gallon of ale was different to a gallon of wine. Also A Pipe measure of Maderia was equivalent to 92 UK gallons; Sherry 108 gallons; Port 115 gallons. Other sources also quote local/regional measurements as differing.
