Spirits not specified in the regulations, including liqueurs, do not have to be sold by volume. You do not need to use spirit measures when you mix these spirits with other spirits or alcoholic liquors to produce cocktails. WineIf you sell wine (unless pre-packaged), you do not have to sell it by volume. You may sell wine in an unmarked glass or carafe. If you do sell wine by volume, then that volume must be accurate. Pre-packaged wine must adhere to all standard packaging requirements, except in relation to the position of the measurement marking. Ginger BeerGinger beer does not have to be sold by volume and can be sold in unmarked glassware. If you serve ginger beer in a batch-tested glass marked with a volume, or mention the volume in a menu, the quantity must match this amount. If ginger beer is served with ice, avoid confusion by letting customers know through the menu description or while serving it. Regulating the sale of alcoholThe National Measurement Act 1960 and the National Trade Measurement Regulations 2009 regulate how you sell alcohol using measurement. NMI employs trade measurement inspectors throughout Australia. We regularly inspect alcohol being sold to ensure that sellers are following the correct process. If an inspector finds that you are short-measuring your customers, you could be fined up to $222,000 per offence.
