G same difference SW. A cc=mL

For all practical purposes but it's not usual to mix the units
or even use cc much. A centiliter is 10 ml and is quite a
convenient unit for wine but ml are more often used. A standard
wine bottle is 750 ml and 40 ml is a bit more Kirsch than I
would use but it could be acceptable.
