The US gallon is based on the English wine gallon of 231 cubic inches, standardized by Queen Anne in 1707. It differs from the British imperial gallon (4.546 L) which was established in 1824.

A centiliter (cL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter (0.01 L) or 10 milliliters.

History

The centiliter is part of the original metric system. While less commonly used than milliliters or liters, it found a niche in European food and beverage labeling.

Current use

Centiliters are commonly used in Europe for wine, spirits, and beverage serving sizes (e.g., a 75 cL wine bottle, a 33 cL beer). They also appear in some European cooking recipes and food packaging.
