DUI Professional Drink Profile
Hine Rare VSOP Cognac

BAC Simulation Context
DUI Professional uses drink profiles as structured inputs for alcohol dose, absorption timing, and elimination modeling. This profile describes the concentration and reference serving volume used when a full drink is added to a simulation.
1.50 oz at 40% equals about 1.00 U.S. standard drinks because one U.S. standard drink contains 0.6 fl oz ethanol. Review how these values are used in BAC simulation software or compare it against the full drink database.

Hine Rare VSOP Cognac Background
Hine Rare Fine Champagne Cognac is the signature VSOP-style expression from the House of Hine, founded in 1763 and based in Jarnac. Hine's U.S. product page lists Rare at 40% ABV and describes it as a blend of Grande and Petite Champagne cognacs with an average age beyond the legal VSOP minimum. DUI Professional stores it as a 1.5 fl oz Spirits / Cognac profile for product-specific BAC modeling.
Professional Use
- Compare drink assumptions during DUI and criminal-defense case review.
- Document beverage concentration and volume used in BAC simulation reports.
- Review drinking-pattern inputs with forensic toxicology and expert-witness workflows.
- Support training examples for alcohol absorption, elimination, and retrograde extrapolation.
Standard Drink Math
A U.S. standard drink uses 0.6 fl oz of pure ethanol. This profile's 1.50 oz reference serving at 40% ABV contains 0.60 oz ethanol, equal to 1.00 standard drinks.
That ethanol dose is the starting point for BAC simulation software; consumed fraction, timing, absorption, elimination, and body-composition assumptions are modeled separately. Compare other entries in the drink database or use the related profiles below.
