What are Tun and Deciliter

A 'Tun' is an old English unit of liquid volume, primarily used to measure wine and other alcoholic beverages. Historically, a tun represented the largest cask size, holding 252 wine gallons, equivalent to 954 liters.

A 'Deciliter' (dL) is a metric unit of volume that is one-tenth of a liter. It is commonly used in countries that follow the metric system to measure liquids and sometimes small quantities of dry substances. For context, one deciliter is equivalent to 100 milliliters or approximately 3.4 fluid ounces, making it a convenient size for everyday measurements in cooking and laboratory work.
