      Ireland and the UK use the imperial pint in pubs (568ml). Everything else in Ireland at least is metric for liquids.

      Speaking for NL:

      25cl is a “Flute” locally (fluit)

      50cl is a “Small Vase” (vaasje)

      If you ask for “A small pilsner” (pilsje) you’d normally get the 25cl or sometimes the 33cl glass of the beer on tap.

        I think vaasje is actually 25, maybe 30cl? (certainly not half a liter). fluit is even smaller; 20 perhaps?

      There are various regional names for 50cl, but “pint” is common, since it’s quite close.

      In France, for beer, it would be a “baron”, while 1l would be a “formidable”.

      I suppose each place has such names.
