From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chopin was a Scottish measure of volume, usually for fluids, that was in use from at least 1661, though possibly 15th century, until the mid 19th century.[1] The measure was derived from the French measure chopine, a widespread unit of liquid capacity, first recorded in the 13th century. A chopin is equivalent to 0.848 litres.
- 1 chopin is 8 gills
- 1 chopin is 2 mutchkins
- 2 chopins is the equivalent of 1 (Scots) pint (or joug)
- 16 chopins is the equivalent of 1 (Scots) gallon
