A metric unit of volume equal to one hundred liters, commonly used to measure large quantities of liquids like wine or water.
From Greek 'hecto-' (hundred) combined with 'liter,' the basic metric unit of volume established in the late 18th century during the development of the metric system.
A hectoliter is the amount of wine in roughly 134 bottles—it's the unit that vineyards and breweries actually use when they're talking about production, but you never hear it in everyday conversation!
