Poincon

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Poinçon was a French liquid measure and corresponded to the Muid and was also called Muid de vin . The measure was used to measure wine and brandy .

  • 1 Poinçon = 3 Tierçons / Tierceaux = 2 Feuillette = 4 Quartauxs = 36 Setiers / Veltes = 288 Pietes = 13,521.6 Parisian cubic inches = 268.2195 liters
  • 1 Poinçon (brandy) = 27 Veltes (1 Velte = 375.4 Parisian cubic inches = 7.450542 liters)

In Reims they made a difference:

  • 1 poinçon = 140 pots = 280 pints
  • 1 poinçon (without yeast) = 138 pots = 276 pints
