I have never seen any advertising in non-metric units for liquor.  Even unit
pricing at the local Shop-Rite and Costco are in metric. Although the
bottles are labeled in L or mL, I do recall seeing cL on some bottles but
that was a while ago.  I have not seen it recently.

How long has liquor (wine and sprits) been hard metric? If I am correct, are
most bottles labeled in ml only? I don't think there are any regulations
that require English measurements be used in advertisements.

I ask because we have one local Liquor store here advertising in ounces
obviously converted. The ad is very odd. Several other stores use the metric
labeling.  Before I write them I want some facts to use in the letter. 

Thanks
