Unit Definition (gill [UK])
The gill [UK] is a traditional unit of volume for liquids, especially wine and other alcoholic beverages. The gill is 1/4 pint. In the British Imperial system, the gill equals 5 fluid ounces, 8.670 cubic inches, or about 137.7 milliliters. The unit is pronounced "jill", with a soft "g" sound. Its name comes a Latin word gillo for a small wine vessel.

Unit Definition (peck [UK])
The peck [UK] is a traditional unit of volume, formerly used for both liquids and solids but now used mostly for dry commodities such as grains, berries, and fruits. A peck is 2 gallons, 8 quarts, or 1/4 bushel. In the British imperial system, a peck is a little larger, holding 554.84 cubic inches or approximately 9.0923 liters. In Scotland, the traditional peck held about 9.1 liters for wheat, peas, or beans and about 12.1 liters for barley or oats. The word "peck", originally spelled "pek", comes from the name of a similar old French unit; the origin of the French unit is not known.
