bar

Since 1978 in Austria and Germany valid unit of measurement (from grch. báros = heavy) for the pressure (until then atü = atmosphere overpressure). The actual SI-unit (Système international d'unités) is Pascal - 100,000 Pa result in one bar. This indicates the pressure in a sparkling wine bottle; see sparkling wine.
