Sec. 30.52  Procedure for measurement of cased spirits.

    Where the quantity of spirits in a case is to be determined by 
volume, such determination shall be made by ascertaining the contents of 
one bottle in the case and multiplying that figure by the number of 
bottles in the case. For cases containing bottles filled according to 
the metric system of measure, the quantity determined shall be converted 
to wine gallons, as provided in Sec. 19.722 of this chapter. The wine 
gallons of spirits thus determined for one case may then be multiplied 
by the number of cases containing spirits at the same proof when 
determining the quantity of spirits for more than one case. The proof 
gallons of spirits in cases shall be determined by multiplying the wine 
gallons by the proof (divided by 100).
