I think you mean 'those 330 ml cans' - and they're labelled '330 ml'.

I think Chris is suffering from the BSI attempt to eliminate deci-, centi-, deca- and hecto-. This led BSI to publish a picture of a bathing beauty with her dimensions quoted in millimetres. That is pracical for engineering but not for tailoring, and other trades. In France the centilitre is the well-established unit for retail wine, while the hectolitre is used in the wholesale wine trade.
