What! Not quarts as well 
Just to add to thatâŠTV suppliers here in France often display the diagonal screen size of their wares in âpoucesâ, for reasons that are beyond me.

I think we shall call them âGreat British Goat Litresâ (unit abbreviation GL). 
Are you northern? Iâd be wanting that topped up to the pint line.

Thatâs true, TV screen sizes are still delineated in inches in the UK as well - that may be because the US market determines such things?
Iâve worked with UK builders here in France that worked in feet and inches though most of the people never learned imperial calculus at school.
About 6 yrs ago I was asked to work on a project for building works and costing maintenance contracts for a UK run company called Super Dry. The CAD plans and material takeoffs had to be in feet and inches. My boss was disappointed when I converted sq feet to sq mĂštres
Its a heck of a lot easier for me to work on metric pools as well. Then there are the conversion from little US gallons to consider when assisting the US lot.
Nostalgic days.
Pounds, shillings and pence. Thruppence. Thruppenny bit. Sixpence.
Miles, yards, feet and inches. One thousand seven hundred and sixty yards to the mile.
Tons, hundred weights, stones, pounds and ounces.
Gallons, quarts and pints.
What else was there?
edit added - I remember farthings in my hand, still got some somewhere around the house!
I also remember buying my first wristwatch aged 4 or 5 reaching up to the jewellerâs counter with a pocketful of sixpences, pennies and probably farthings as well as the odd thruppenny bit.

Seventeen sixty yards in a mile
When I was a tiny child our exercise books had all those things on the back, tables up to 12, rods poles perches and chains, bushels and gallons etc. And various other bits of seemingly arcane stuff.
None of it but the tables meant anything at all to me and my little friends.

Horse height still measured in âhandsâ.
I made my student laugh with the word âwithersâ. Actually, most -th words make him laugh.
Hands are normal though

A Gill (pronounced with a J as in Jack and âŠ) Is a quarter of a pint.
Serious question, in the mainly metric/decimal using modern countries, do they still use knots and nautical miles for maritime transport? I believe airline transport still use feet for altitude, not sure about military 
Glass is heavily recycled.

Also itâs highly unlikely that the drinks industry / bottle makers) will actually implement this âpint de vinâ nonsense, when there is zero actual demand for such a thing from either the wine trade or the public.
