DUI Professional Drink Profile
Yellow Tail Merlot
A public drink database profile for BAC simulation, drinking-pattern analysis, and litigation-support workflow review.

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.
6.00 oz at 13.50% equals about 1.35 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.

Yellow Tail Merlot Background
Yellow Tail Merlot fills a missing red varietal in one of the best-known imported wine brand families in the United States. Source-backed product data identifies Yellow Tail Merlot at 13.50% ABV and ties the brand to Casella Family Brands. A 6.00 fl oz DUI Professional serving equals about 1.35 U.S. standard drinks because one standard drink contains 0.6 fl oz ethanol; these row values drive BAC simulation dose, database comparison, and report assumptions.
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 6.00 oz reference serving at 13.50% ABV contains 0.81 oz ethanol, equal to 1.35 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.
