Irne

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Irne or just Irn was a Tyrolean measure of volume for liquids. Derived from the Latin irnea, hirnea, the term describes a wine jug, a wine vessel. The Irne was slightly larger than the Wiener wine bucket (= 56.589 liters ), the 40 degree had.

  • 1 Irne = 1 bucket = 55 measure (= 1.414724 liters) = 77.809 liters

Another way of writing the measure later was Ueren , Üren, Yhren or Yehren with different values.
