What are Tun and Stere

A Tun, often spelled 'ton', is a large cask or barrel historically used to store and measure wine or other commodities. It has a capacity that varies by country and commodity, but it usually represents a volume of approximately 252 wine gallons, which is about 954 liters. The tun was an important measure in the medieval English system and was used as a benchmark for trade and taxation.

A Stere is a unit of volume in the metric system that is not commonly used today. One stere is equivalent to one cubic meter. The term originates from the Greek word 'stereos', meaning solid. Historically, the stere was used to measure firewood and other bulk commodities, and it is sometimes still used in this context in some European countries.
