However, on spirits, the US also requires 750 mL and forbids 700 mL. The EU

In the UK (as in the rest of Europe) the standard spirit bottle is 700ml. It
would be legal to add a supplementary imperial indication to the primary

Scottish bottling plants pack whisky in 750ml sizes for export to the US. It
would be illegal to sell these bottles in the UK - they are all exported.
In the same way, US whiskeys are imported into the UK in 700ml bottles. I
assume they are packed in the states?
