See <a href="https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-27/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-7#7.63">27 CFR 7.63(a)(3)</a>.

The following requirements also apply:</p> <ul> <li>Only alc. and vol. (with or without periods) may be used to abbreviate the words alcohol and volume.</li> <li>The abbreviation “ABV” is not allowed.</li> <li>Percent may be represented by the percent symbol “%.”</li> <li>Alcohol and volume may be separated by a slash (“/”) in lieu of the word “by.”</li> <li>The words (or abbreviations) may appear in capital letters or lower case letters.</li> <li>The numerical alcohol content may precede or follow the term “alcohol” or “alc.”</li> </ul> <p>Acceptable examples of alcohol by volume statements include:</p> <p><div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/system/files/styles/wide/private/images/beer/labeling/malt-beverage-alcohol-content/malt-beverage-alcohol-content-2-2.png?itok=30yvlmCn" width="451" height="226"> </div> </div> </p> <h2><strong><span>Type Size</span></strong></h2> <p>Unless otherwise required by State law:</p> <ul> <li>Minimum 1 mm for containers of 1/2 pint or less</li> <li>Minimum 2 mm for containers larger than 1/2 pint</li> <li>Maximum 3 mm for containers of 40 fl. oz. or less</li> <li>Maximum 4 mm for containers larger than 40 fl. oz.</li> </ul> <p>Note: While the maximum type size requirements extend to both mandatory and optional statements of alcohol content, the minimum type requirements only apply to mandatory alcohol content statement. The minimum type size applies to each numeral or letter in the statement, including both upper-case and lower-case letters.

For malt beverages containing less than 0.5 percent alcohol by volume, alcohol content may be expressed either to the nearest one-tenth or the nearest one-hundredth of one percent.

A statement of alcohol by weight is therefore optional unless required or prohibited by State Law.</p> <p>If an alcohol by weight statement is used, TTB recommends stating it in the same format as the alcohol by volume statement.
