Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Alcohol by Volume (ABV)
Alcohol by Volume (ABV) is a standard measure used worldwide to quantify the amount of alcohol (ethanol) contained in an alcoholic beverage. It is expressed as a percentage, indicating the volume of alcohol per 100 milliliters of the beverage. For example, a wine with 12% ABV contains 12 milliliters of alcohol in every 100 milliliters of wine.

Volume Conversion
Volume conversion involves changing a measurement from one unit to another, such as liters to milliliters. In this context, it is essential to know that 1 liter equals 1,000 milliliters. This conversion is crucial for accurately calculating the amount of alcohol in a given volume of wine, as the problem specifies the wine's volume in liters.

Calculation of Alcohol Content
To calculate the alcohol content in a beverage, you multiply the total volume of the beverage by the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV). In this case, to find the milliliters of alcohol in a 0.750-L bottle of wine with 12% ABV, you would convert the volume to milliliters and then apply the formula: (total volume in mL) x (ABV) = volume of alcohol in mL.
