Rundlet

Modern equivalent

68.14 litres

A small British wine cask holding precisely 18 Queen Anne wine gallons, favoured for transporting premium fortified wines.

The rundlet served as an ideal portable vessel for merchants moving mid-sized lots of wine and spirits across the British Isles. Its capacity was carefully calculated to balance manual handling weight with commercial efficiency during coach and wagon transit.
