Liters (l)
Definition
A liter (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 milliliters, 1 cubic decimeter (1 dm³), or approximately 0.264 US gallons.
History
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as the 'cadil', later renamed 'litre'. It was defined as the volume of one kilogram of water at maximum density. Though not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with SI.

Liters are the global standard for measuring beverages, fuel, engine displacement, aquarium capacity, and liquid product volumes. Milk, water, soft drinks, and gasoline are all commonly sold in liters.
Centiliters (cl)

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.
