why does the USA use Liters for Wine bottles but Fluid Ounces for other liquids?

I can't understand why someone has been mean enough, or ignorant enough, to mark down the answers that have made a very good attempt to answer the question. And it is because, for many years, most wines were produced in mainland Europe where the metric system is largely used. US domestic drinks will tend to use US measures which were adopted from the measures of the original occupiers of the country - the British.

The USA is now the only major country that still largely retains the old measures - although they are still in declining use in the UK.

It may be because for a while most wine, at least most good wine, was imported from countries that did use the metric system.

soda is in liters as well.

And I don't know why.

A while back there was talk of switching the US to the metric system but it never followed through.

Maybe its a left over from that??

Yeah it's imported and uses the metric system, and plus, everywhere else uses metric so it makes it easier for them. and also it's litres just it shows up as wrong spelling.
